If you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner that still feels special, this Everything Bagel Creamy Chicken Skillet is exactly what you need. It’s creamy, flavorful, and comes together in just 25 minutes – perfect for those nights when you want something hearty without spending hours at the stove. The spinach keeps it fresh and vibrant, while the everything bagel seasoning gives every bite that irresistible blend of garlic, onion, sesame, and poppy seeds.
What makes this dish shine is its beautiful balance of textures and flavors. The chicken is seared until golden, locking in all the juices, then simmered gently in a creamy sauce made with sour cream, cream cheese, and white wine (or chicken broth if you prefer). The result is a silky, savory sauce that clings to each piece of chicken and soaks into the tender spinach. It’s indulgent without being heavy – the kind of meal that makes everyone go quiet at the dinner table.
I love how versatile this recipe is too. You can swap the spinach for kale or add mushrooms for a little extra earthiness. If you’re cutting back on dairy, a little Greek yogurt works beautifully in place of sour cream. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or even pasta for the ultimate cozy dinner that’s bursting with comfort food flavor.
It’s the kind of recipe that feels like a hug on a plate – and once you’ve tried it, you’ll want to keep it on rotation all week long.
