1/2 teaspoon pepper

1–1/2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

Sprinkle the chicken thighs with seasoned salt and pepper.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs to the pan and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until a thermometer reads 170°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become tender.
Add the white wine or chicken broth to the skillet, bringing it to a boil. Let it cook until the wine is reduced by half, which should take about 3 minutes.
Add the spinach and salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted.
Stir in the reduced-fat sour cream and mix until the sauce is smooth.
Serve the spinach and shallot mixture over the chicken thighs, and enjoy!

Notes

Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers to the sautéed mixture for added flavor and texture.
Creamy Spinach & Mushroom: Add some sliced mushrooms along with the shallots for a richer, earthy flavor.
Low-Carb Option: For a low-carb version, you can serve this dish with cauliflower rice or a simple green salad instead of the traditional sides.
