- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil divided
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 8 oz. grape tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken bone broth
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (15 oz.) can Great Northern beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach roughly chopped

Instructions
-
In small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
-
In large bowl, combine chicken and seasoning mixture, using hands or spoon to evenly coat chicken.
-
In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken and sear about 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
-
To skillet, add remaining oil and tomatoes. Cook about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until tomatoes start to blister and burst open. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze pan, scraping browned bits from bottom.
