Equipment

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Season the chicken with the remaining salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and chili flakes, letting it sit for a few minutes.
  3. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet along with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and mushrooms; cook for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Add the heavy cream, chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, spinach, and a pinch of salt and pepper; stir to combine until the sauce thickens.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the top, and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Use fresh herbs and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This dish is versatile; it can be served with pasta, rice, or on its own. For a lighter recipe, consider using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream or substitute the chicken with seitan for a vegan version. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.
