Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 8-ounce container sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 cup half-and-half
One 10-ounce package of baby spinach (about 8 cups)
Warm egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a pie plate or shallow dish. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts in the flour. Shake off any excess and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until the other side is deeply golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Then pour in the half-and-half. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken back to the skillet, cover and cook, turning about halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter filled with warm egg noodles. Add the spinach to the skillet, cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Pour the creamy spinach sauce over the chicken and noodles.

Skillet-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Potatoes image

This is a great one-skillet chicken dish that is warm and comfortable on cold nights. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, just transfer to an oven dish before roasting. If you are cooking outside, just leave it over coals and check periodically that it doesn't overcook and go dry.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large sweet potatoes
4 small Yukon Gold potatoes, or more to taste
½ tablespoon dried parsley
½ tablespoon granulated garlic
½ tablespoon dried minced onion
½ tablespoon dried rosemary
½ tablespoon dried sage
½ tablespoon dried thyme
½ tablespoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 chicken thighs
1 ½ cups dry white wine
1 ½ cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Peel and quarter sweet potatoes, and slice to 1/4-inch thickness. Halve or quarter Yukon Gold potatoes depending on size. Place in a bowl, cover with water, and set aside.
  • Combine parsley, garlic, onion, rosemary, sage, thyme, paprika, and pepper in a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle until finely ground. Divide into thirds.
  • Brush 1 tablespoon olive oil over chicken and rub in 1/3 of the spice blend.
  • Heat remaining oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken, skin-side down, into the skillet and quickly brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and remove skillet from heat. Drain and layer potatoes in the bottom of the skillet, add wine and chicken broth, and sprinkle in 1/3 of the spice blend. Layer chicken on top and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 spice blend. Cover with a lid or foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). The starch from the potatoes will thicken the broth and wine into a gravy. Serve immediately.
