We like this with an added side of Oven Roasted Asparagus seasoned with Slap Ya Mama and EVOO.
Serves 2 with Leftovers
3-4 Bone in Skin on Chicken Thighs
1 tsp Johnnies. (Slap ya Mamma for spicier version)
2 Tbsp Butter. (Use 1 Tbsp for the Chicken and Tbsp for the Mushrooms)
3 Tbsp Evoo. (Use half for Chicken and half for Mushrooms)
3 Tbsp Basalmic Vinegar.
3-4 Tbsp White wine.
3 large Cloves Garlic, sliced thin.
6 leaves Basil chopped (save 1/2 for the end)
1 Scallion chopped (save 1/2 out to Garnish)
2 Oz sliced Mushrooms, (1 c).
1 c Cherry Tomatoes halved.
4 c Fresh Spinach.
2 Pinches Salt.
Pinch Pepper.
Parmesean Cheese.
3-4 slices Muenster Cheese
Season the Chicken Thighs with the Johnnies seasoning Salt.
Using a medium sized cast Iron Frying pan, preheated to Medium Hi heat, pour in 1/2 of the EVOO and Half of the Butter. Sear the Chicken until nice and Golden Brown on Both sides, (about 3-5 min per side). You may turn to med after is starts to cook well depending on your stove it will llet go” when ready to flip.
Remove the Chicken onto a plate and set aside.
(You may not need the rest of the EVOO and Butter but keep it around …mushrooms are funny that way). Add the other 1 Tbsp of Butter and the other 1/2 of the EVOO to the Skillet and then add the Mushrooms, and cook until they start to Brown, you may need to turn toggle the heat to cook it like you want .
When the Mushrooms are starting to brown, add the Garlic, stir the just enough for the Garlic to start to break down, about 30 seconds (careful not to burn it ).
Add 1/2 the Scallion and 1/2 of the Basil, then the wine and Vinegar to deglaze the pan. Return the Chicken to the Skillet, Skin side up, right on top of the Mushrooms, then scatter the halved Tomatoes around the Thighs.
Add the Spinach on top of the Chicken and Tomatoes. Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper. Cover the Skillet and turn the burner heat down to Simmer and cook for 20 min. Before serving, carefully remove the Spinach off of the Chicken. Add a slice of Cheese Per Thigh, set the Lid back on to let the cheese melt.
Add the other half of the Scallion and Basil
To Serve:
Add a bed of Spinach and Tomatoes onto the plate first and then add a piece of Chicken on top of but slightly offset of the Spinach.
Sprinkle with Grate or slivered Parmesan on top.
Enjoy!
