Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms on Mashed Potatoes & Spinach

Serving: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is juicy and the sauce is warm. It pairs wonderfully with a light salad or roasted vegetables on the side.

Storage: Store any leftover chicken, sauce, and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.

Variations:

Add some heat: If you enjoy a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Herb variations: Experiment with fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil in place of the Italian seasoning.

Vegan Option: Use plant-based butter, cream, and cheese for a dairy-free version. Substitute the chicken with a plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh.

FAQ:

Can I use frozen chicken?

Can I make this ahead of time?
While it’s best served fresh, you can prep the mashed potatoes and sauce in advance. Reheat and assemble just before serving.

Can I use other vegetables?
Yes, broccoli, green beans, or even peas would be great alternatives or additions to the sautéed spinach.
