Ingredients for Lemon Butter Chicken:
Method of preparing the Lemon Butter Chicken:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken thighs or breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, and toss to coat.
-
Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it’s golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside. Drain the pan, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in there.
-
Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant – about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and add the baby spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the sauce has thickened slightly – about 3-5 minutes.
-
Stir in the lemon juice, thyme, and lemon zest (if using). Return the chicken to the skillet, and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (70°C). Serve warm.
