Creamy Spinach Chicken is a dish that everyone in the family will enjoy. This one pan chicken dish is very easy to prepare and and will have dinner ready in 30 minutes. This quick meal is perfect for a date night at home, and pairs well with a glass of red wine.

I served my Creamy Spinach Chicken over white rice, but it goes even better with buttery mashed potatoes.

Boneless chicken thighs were used for this recipe but if you have chicken breast on hand, then that will do. Using chicken breast would of course decrease the cooking time compared to using chicken thighs. Bone in chicken thighs can also be used instead as well.
