There are a few dinners I can guarantee both of my kids will eat and this is one of them. The other is boxed mac n cheese ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This dish takes about 10 minutes to prep and you can eat within 30 minutes…perfect for a weeknight family meal. The creamy sauce is the showstopper so be sure to pour it liberally all over your plate

I planned on getting a better photo of this dish but I forgot I had just pulled this skillet out of the oven and burned my hand when I went to grab it so this was the best I could do!

•Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

•Season chicken thighs with paprika, salt and pepper, to taste.

•Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; drain excess fat and set aside.

•Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice and thyme.

•Bring to a boil; reduce heat, stir in spinach, and simmer until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.

•Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.

•Serve over rice and be sure to pour all that amazing sauce on top of the chicken and rice!
