Cooking Steps
- Peel, then slice carrot into 1/8-inch rounds.
- Cut potato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel and cut half the onion into 1/2-inch slices. Cut remaining onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Add carrot, potato, sliced onions, half the stock powder and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the bottom of the oven, stirring halfway until tender and golden-brown, 20-24 min.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.)
- Cook chicken until golden, 1-2 min per side. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the top of the oven until cooked through, 10-14 min.**
- When chicken and veggies are nearly done, reheat the same pan over medium.
- While pan heats, roughly chop spinach.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and remaining onions. Cook, stirring often to remove any browned bits from the pan, until unions are golden-brown and begin to soften, 2-3 min.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over onions. Stir to coat.
- Add spinach, cream cheese, remaining stock powder, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water and any chicken juices from baking sheet.
- Cook, stirring often until spinach wilts and sauce is smooth and thickens slightly, 1-3 min.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide chicken and veggies between plates
- Spoon some of the spinach sauce over chicken, with remaining sauce on the side.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the chicken breasts.
