Tips:
Chicken Variation: You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier, more flavorful option.
Cream Substitute: If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can replace the heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based alternative like coconut milk or almond milk.
Add More Veggies: If you want to add more veggies, zucchini, bell peppers, or even broccoli work well in this dish.
Herb Variations: Feel free to use fresh herbs like rosemary or basil instead of dried thyme for a more aromatic flavor.
Cheese Lovers: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the finished dish for an extra layer of flavor.
Correction/Improvements:
Cooking Time Adjustments: Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, cooking times may vary. Always check for doneness by using a meat thermometer (165°F or 75°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
Vegetable Sautéing: When cooking the mushrooms, you may want to add a pinch of salt while they cook to help draw out the moisture and ensure they become tender and flavorful.
Spinach Handling: Spinach wilts quickly, so make sure to stir it in just before serving to avoid overcooking it.
