Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
6 chicken thighs see instructions for using other cuts of chicken
2 Tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups sliced mushrooms
½ cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes drained and roughly chopped
2 cups spinach de-stemmed
1 tablespoon chopped sage
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
1 cup chicken broth or chicken stock
1 can (14.5 ounce) full-fat coconut milk

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken.
* If using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs: cook for 4-6 minutes each side, until the outside is a nice golden brown.* If using skinless, boneless chicken thighs: cook for 3-4 minutes each side, until the outside is a nice golden brown.
* If using boneless, skinless chicken breasts: cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until the outside is a nice golden brown.
Remove chicken from the skillet and let rest on a plate.
Add garlic, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add spinach, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine.
Slowly add chicken broth and coconut milk to the skillet, stir, and bring to a low boil.
Reduce heat to low-medium and return the chicken to the skillet.
Cook on the stove for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

Makes 4-6 servings.

You can substitute heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk for the coconut milk, if you prefer.

You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs. You will need to adjust the cooking time slightly as they cook a little faster than bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, so watch the chicken breasts carefully for doneness when cooking.
