Description

Imagine sinking your fork into tender morsels of chicken, each piece bathed in a velvety, luxurious sauce. This is what awaits you with this reimagined classic. Cubes of succulent chicken thighs, gently simmered until perfectly cooked, are the heart of this comforting dish.

The sauce is a symphony of flavors and textures. Earthy mushrooms lend their savory notes, mingling harmoniously with the richness of the creamy base. Bright pops of color and subtle sweetness come from diced pimento peppers, adding visual appeal and a delightful counterpoint to the savory elements.

Leafy green spinach wilts into the sauce, providing a gentle herbaceousness and a boost of nutrients. This dish is incredibly adaptable to your preferences and schedule. Its ease of preparation makes it ideal for busy weeknights when you crave something satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.

The creamy sauce envelops every piece of chicken, creating a truly indulgent experience that will leave you feeling comforted and nourished. While traditionally served with ingredients that may not fit all dietary needs, this version embraces a lighter approach. The result is a dish that still delivers the same comforting flavors and textures, without sacrificing your nutritional goals.

Consider serving this creamy chicken creation over a bed of steamed or sautéed vegetables, such as zucchini noodles, or alongside a warm, crusty bread for soaking up every last drop of the luscious sauce. Every bite is a celebration of flavor, texture, and wholesome ingredients, making it a meal you'll want to enjoy again and again. It’s a delicious way to enjoy a time-honored favorite with a modern twist.

Instructions

    1.
    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the diced chicken thighs and cook until fully cooked, about 15 minutes, erring on the side of overcooking for tenderness. Drain, reserving the cooking water for chicken broth.
    2.
    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salted butter and melt completely, swirling to coat the pan. Add sliced baby portobello mushrooms and sauté until nicely browned, approximately 3-4 minutes.
    3.
    Add the cream and reserved chicken broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to simmer gently for 1-2 minutes over low heat.
    4.
    Incorporate the cooked chicken, drained pimento peppers, and spinach into the skillet. Cook until everything is well combined and the spinach has wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
    5.
    Sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture, stirring immediately to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Serve the dish hot over shirataki noodles, zucchini noodles, or low-carb bread.
