Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Peel and dice potato into ½-inch pieces.
-
Place potato in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
-
Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. Return potato to pot and mash until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
-
Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
-
While potato cooks, cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Finely chop spinach.
-
Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
-
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- In a medium bowl, combine spinach, cream sauce base, mustard, and ½ cup plain water (1 cup for 4 servings).
- Heat pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add spinach mixture; cook until spinach has wilted and sauce has thickened slightly, 2-4 minutes.
- Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
-
Divide mashed potato, roasted broccoli, and chicken between plates. Top chicken and mashed potato with creamy spinach sauce and serve.
