Cooking Tips

For the chicken, I used boneless and skinless chicken thighs, but you can use chicken breasts, bone-in chicken thighs. First pan-sear and cook the chicken to a nice golden brown and crisp up the surface, then make the creamy sauce. The spinach and tomatoes go in last so you don’t overcook them.
