How do you make the spinach artichoke sauce so creamy?
We really love making healthier comfort food recipes, and this chicken skillet is a new favorite! The creamy sauce is made with mayo as the base, so it’s full of creamy goodness. We also used nutritional yeast to add some cheesy, umami flavor. It’s a combo that really satisfies the palate, and the sauce is actually a recipe we made for a spinach artichoke dip a while back! So, it’s versatile and great for entertaining or taking to get togethers. It always goes real quick, and nobody has any idea it’s dairy-free and healthier. And in this easy one pan dinner, it’s the perfect sauce!
What if I don’t like chicken thighs?
We prefer to cook with boneless, skinless chicken thighs most of the time because they are more flavorful and cook faster than chicken breasts. That said, you could totally use chicken breasts instead of thighs for this recipe. You might consider cutting the chicken up in advance, either into strips or bite-sized pieces, to speed up the cooking time.
What is nutritional yeast?
Don’t be put off or scared of yeast in the name. Nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast, meaning that it doesn’t cause an issue for people with yeast overgrowth or candida issues. We love it because it adds a cheesy, umami flavor to whatever you’re making, which is great for dairy-free recipes like this spinach artichoke chicken skillet! We actually end up using it in our kitchen pretty often and find that it’s great in many savory dishes.
