Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
4 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts
1/2 cup diced shallots
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 cup Progresso™ unsalted chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with sides with foil.
  • In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Rub seasoned salt under skin into chicken being careful not to remove skin completely. Cook in butter, skin side down, 3 to 4 minutes without moving, until chicken releases easily from pan. Turn chicken; reduce heat to medium, and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until chicken easily releases from pan. Turn off heat, and reserve pan with juices. Transfer chicken to cookie sheet. Bake 30 to 34 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to the bone (at least 165°F).
  • Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in skillet, then add onion. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until onion is translucent and begins to brown. Add apple; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add mustard and broth; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Add spinach, and stir until wilted.
  • Place a chicken breast on each of 4 plates. Divide sauce among plates.
