How to make it

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them generously with salt, pepper, and half of the chili powder.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir constantly until it melts into a smooth sauce. Stir in the remaining chili powder until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, and stir until it completely wilts into the creamy sauce.

  5. 5

    Slice the cooked chicken thighs into bite sized pieces. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Dice the ripe avocado and gently fold it into the creamy chicken and spinach mixture. Serve this delicious meal immediately.
