I chose boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this dish, but you can easily substitute chicken breast. This one pan dish is very rich and satisfying. A blend of rich cream and sun dried tomatoes then topped off with fresh spinach provides a full meal. Serve over noodles or rice, it’s so delicious. (Keto friendly)
