Highlights Retain the chicken fat in the pan for added depth and richness 🍗💖 Increase the quantity of spinach to prevent wilting 🌱 Add more lemon juice for a zesty kick 🍋 or adjust to taste! Pair with rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal 🍚🥔 Consider using unsalted butter to control the saltiness 🧂 User Tips Sort Tips Do not discard the extra fat it brings the dish to a whole new level!!! 7 years ago Helpful ( 313 ) Made this w chicken breast cut into smaller sizes. Was so damn good ! 😭❤️ 7 years ago Helpful ( 233 ) This was DELICIOUS, I added half a lemon more but because I used salted butter and I love lemon. My son LOVED it 🤤 super easy to make and pretty quick for how fancy it looks. 7 years ago Helpful ( 205 ) I’m not the cook in our household and so proud that I was able to make this dish for my kids. Thanks, Tasty!! Now they call me Chef Mom. My kids loves the dish with a lot of sauce and spinach. 7 years ago Helpful ( 159 ) It was sooooo good! I kept the chicken fat in the pan before making the sauce and it was great. I don’t suggest draining it. 6 years ago Helpful ( 131 ) I added cayenne pepper with the dry ingredients, and also while sautéing the garlic I added onions and mushrooms! This was fantastic and a house favorite!! 7 years ago Helpful ( 123 ) Didn’t have fresh spinach, frozen got the job done just fine ..will definitely make again :) 7 years ago Helpful ( 115 ) One of my favorite recipes 7 years ago Helpful ( 96 ) I increased the sauce amount and sautéed mushrooms and onions with the garlic step. I deglazed the pan with white wine and let the mushrooms sweat out most of their liquid before adding the other liquid ingredients. I used a full clamshell of spinach and reduced the spinach water quite a bit (with the chicken broth and cream) before popping it in the oven. 6 years ago Helpful ( 93 ) If you added too much lemon juice just add some baking soda. It’ll lower the ph and make the dish a little less sour. 7 years ago Helpful ( 67 ) Delicious!!! I had skinless thighs and no cast iron and it still came out amazing!! I cooked in a regular pan and transferred to a oven safe dish and it came out perfect! Will definitely make again! 7 years ago Helpful ( 56 ) Super good great and easy recipe. The hardest part maybe was getting a good crust on the chicken. I added lemon pepper seasoning on the chicken for extra flavor. Family loved it!! I’ll add more spinach next time y’all know how spinach like to play tricks on us lol 7 years ago Helpful ( 55 ) Spring Sweets Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Strawberry Cheesecake Crackers Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Fried Strawberry Shortcake Pops Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons Popular Recipes Banana Bread Chocolate Cheesecake Swiss Roll Dan Dan Cucumbers Easy One-Tray Chicken Thighs And Veggies 73 Snacks From Tasty Classic Carrot Cake Mini Gingerbread Cheesecakes Latest Recipes Angel Egg Potato Salad Dan Dan Cucumbers Johnsonville Dr Pepper® Sausage Pretzel Bites Presented by Johnsonville Queso Fundido With Chorizo And Poblano Peppers Johnsonville Dr Pepper® Sausage Pineapple Fried Rice Presented by Johnsonville Bone Broth Chicken Tortilla Soup

I kept the chicken fat in the pan before making the sauce and it was great. I don’t suggest draining it. 6 years agoHelpful (131) - ![user avatar for Miranda Kay](https://graph.facebook.com/v3.1/10213262280218126/picture?type=square&width=200&height=200&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) I added cayenne pepper with the dry ingredients, and also while sautéing the garlic I added onions and mushrooms! This was fantastic and a house favorite!\! 7 years agoHelpful (123) - ![user avatar for dh227](https://img.buzzfeed.com/tasty-app-user-assets-prod-us-east-1/avatars/default/radish.png?downsize=45:*&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) Didn’t have fresh spinach, frozen got the job done just fine ..will definitely make again :) 7 years agoHelpful (115) - ![user avatar for londonstep](https://img.buzzfeed.com/tasty-app-user-assets-prod-us-east-1/avatars/default/donut.png?downsize=45:*&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) One of my favorite recipes 7 years agoHelpful (96) - ![user avatar for allisongomer](https://img.buzzfeed.com/tasty-app-user-assets-prod-us-east-1/avatars/default/radish.png?downsize=45:*&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) I increased the sauce amount and sautéed mushrooms and onions with the garlic step. I deglazed the pan with white wine and let the mushrooms sweat out most of their liquid before adding the other liquid ingredients. I used a full clamshell of spinach and reduced the spinach water quite a bit (with the chicken broth and cream) before popping it in the oven. 6 years agoHelpful (93) - ![user avatar for ddranch](https://img.buzzfeed.com/tasty-app-user-assets-prod-us-east-1/avatars/default/corn.png?downsize=45:*&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) If you added too much lemon juice just add some baking soda. It’ll lower the ph and make the dish a little less sour. 7 years agoHelpful (67) - ![user avatar for nicolee27](https://img.buzzfeed.com/tasty-app-user-assets-prod-us-east-1/avatars/default/donut.png?downsize=45:*&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) Delicious!!! I had skinless thighs and no cast iron and it still came out amazing!! I cooked in a regular pan and transferred to a oven safe dish and it came out perfect!

The hardest part maybe was getting a good crust on the chicken. I added lemon pepper seasoning on the chicken for extra flavor. Family loved it!! I’ll add more spinach next time y’all know how spinach like to play tricks on us lol 7 years agoHelpful (55) ## Spring Sweets - [![](https://img.buzzfeed.com/thumbnailer-prod-us-east-1/79b28cebb2894049b501c4d7af12a23c/FB_06.jpg?resize=300:*&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto)Strawberry Rhubarb Pie](https://tasty.co/recipe/strawberry-rhubarb-pie) -
