Warm, nourishing creamy dinner recipes perfect for cozy evenings, combining comfort with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 pound of boneless chicken breast or tofu, cubed
  • 1 cup of vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup of coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups of spinach or kale
  • 1 teaspoon of thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the cubed chicken or tofu and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  4. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and turn golden.
  5. Pour in the broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return the chicken or tofu to the skillet, along with the spinach or kale. Cook until the greens wilt.
  7. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast if desired.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for richness. Fresh herbs elevate flavor. Deglaze with white wine for depth. Avoid overcooking the protein and always simmer cream gently.
