Spinach and Mushroom Chicken Skillet
This skillet dish is a quick and easy way to get a healthy meal on the table. The chicken is browned until crispy, the mushrooms are sautéed until tender, and the spinach is wilted until just tender. The whole dish is seasoned with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper, and it's served hot.
This recipe was inspired by a dish that I ate at a local restaurant. I was so impressed with the flavor and simplicity of the dish that I knew I had to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally perfected the recipe, and I'm excited to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
