Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200°C / 390°F.
- Season chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Melt 2 Tbsp of butter in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat.

- Add the last tablespoon of butter to the pan.
- Toss in the garlic and cook for about a minute until it smells amazing.
- Pour in chicken broth, cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, and thyme. Stir it all together.
- Add chopped spinach and let it simmer until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens a bit, about 3–5 minutes.
- Put the chicken back in the pan.
- Move the whole pan into the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through (80°C inside).
- Serve hot with extra sauce spooned over the top.
