Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp oil/butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of garlic/onion powder. Add chicken to the skillet and sear until golden brown on all sides (it doesn't need to be cooked through), then remove and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil/butter to the skillet. Add sliced carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.

Sprinkle flour over the carrots and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in the almond milk, ensuring no lumps. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then stir in thyme, oregano, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Final Notes

Serve this creamy chicken and vegetable medley warm, either on its own for a lighter meal or alongside a simple portion of rice for a complete and satisfying dinner. It’s perfect for a cozy evening.
