In a skillet or pan, heat olive oil. Lightly fry the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes each side in medium heat until both sides are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set them aside. You may sprinkle the chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Using the same pan, add the cremini mushrooms. Cook them until slightly soft. Do not overcook. Remove the mushrooms and also set them aside.

Adjust the taste by adding salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes or until the sauce becomes creamy or thick as desired. If the sauce is not thick enough mix 1 TBSP of flour or cornstarch to 1 TBSP of water and pour to the sauce.
It’s time to combine all together. Put back the chicken and mushroom. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Lastly, add the spinach and combine. Remove immediately from heat.

Notes
Subsitute:
You may use chicken breast instead of the thighs
White button mushrooms or canned mushrooms is ok
If using half and half, add 1-2 tbsp of flour to make the sauce thick
Double the amount of minced garlic if you don't have garlic powder or vice versa
