Creamy Tuscan Chicken

You don't have to follow a Keto diet to savor this delicious dish; the flavor doesn't taste 'diet' at all.  I served this with steamed cauliflower and green beans.  Roasted potatoes also goes well with this dish.

1 TBS oil

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 TBS butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs-browned in oil

4 cups baby spinach

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil.  Brown the chicken thighs on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.

Turn heat down to medium-low and add the butter.  Once the butter, is melted, add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the onions are coated, about 30 seconds.

Add the already browned chicken, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, pepper and salt.  Mix well.

Pour in the cream and stir to combine.  Cover and cook until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F, about 15 minutes.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and serve.
