Instructions

1 Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and thyme. Heat olive
and coconut [https://amzn.to/3zVRSY3] oils in a large skillet over medium-high
heat until oil is shimmering. Carefully place chicken thighs in skillet and cook
5-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, or until chicken is browned
and firm. Transfer to a plate.
2 Clean out your pan if it has any burnt residue, then return to medium heat. You
should still have some leftover oil in the pan, and browned bits will add a lot
of flavor to your sauce. But if it is very dry, add another tablespoonful or so
of oil.
3 When hot, add onion. Sauté until soft, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes.
If the onion looks like it will stick, deglaze the pan with a little water and
stir up the brown bits. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant,
about 30-60 seconds.
4 Pour in the coconut [https://amzn.to/3zVRSY3] cream; stir well and bring to a
simmer. Add the spinach and tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes, then stir
in artichoke hearts, lemon juice and nutritional yeast. Simmer until flavors are
well combined and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the
chicken and simmer until it is done, about another 10 minutes.
5 Test chicken for doneness. Taste and adjust seasonings, as this is a fairly
low-salt version. You may wish to add more lemon juice instead, which brings out
salty flavors.
6 Serve over spaghetti squash, or pasta of choice.
