This is among my family’s most loved chicken recipes. It is very rich, delicious, and full of food, and almost any side dish is well paired. Among my favorite added are steamed veggies, rice, mashed potatoes, fries, and zoodles. The list of ingredients is quite short and it’s almost not clean because we cook all in a pot. Well, that’s quite fantastic! These creamy chicken thighs are flavored! Spinach, roasted peppers, onions, parmesan, and cream form an entirely tasty sauce.
I can keep talking about how incredibly delicious and amazing these Creamy Chicken Thighs are but I’m just going to start cooking them instead.
