This Lemon Garlic Chicken Skillet with Spinach is a quick and healthy dinner that is so versatile! Made with a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your house. Whole30, Low Carb, Gluten Free and absolutely DELICIOUS!!!
Squeeze lemon juice (you need 2 T), crush garlic, trim any visible fat from chicken thighs and finely chop parsley.
Sprinkle half of the spices on one side of chicken thighs.
Heat a 12" cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 T of the Ghee.
Once melted, add chicken thighs, seasoning side down. Sprinkle remaining spices on unseasoned side and brown for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Add crushed garlic and cook 30 to 45 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Quickly add chicken broth to pan and use a spatula or spoon to gently scrap the bottom.
Bring broth to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is cooked through (about 8 to 10 minutes depending on thickness).
Once chicken is cooked through, remove to a plate with tongs.
Turn heat back up to medium and add baby spinach. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until wilted.
Whisk in remaining 1 T of Ghee and 2 T of lemon juice. Reduce sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thicker.
Add cooked chicken back to skillet to warm through. Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley and Enjoy!
