  • Directions:
  • Prepare Chicken and Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken thighs and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Cook Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook until mushrooms are dark and moist, about 5 minutes. Remove and place them with the chicken.

  • Add Spinach: Incorporate spinach into the sauce, letting it wilt.
