Ingredients

• 1.5 pound chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounce cremini mushrooms (sliced)

• 5 ounce fresh spinach

Instructions

1. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
