Ingredients

If you have 5 more minutes…
No chicken thighs? Use breasts, but pull them earlier. No cream? Full-fat coconut milk works beautifully. No spinach? Kale or frozen peas are both easy wins.
Instructions
1. Season and brown the chicken in olive oil, then move it to a plate. 2. Soften garlic in the same pan. Add lemon zest, broth, and juice. 3. Stir in the cream, return chicken, and simmer until cooked through. 4. Fold in spinach until wilted. Serve with rice, pasta, or bread.
