Cooking Instructions
  1. Coat the chicken pieces with seasoned all-purpose flour, ensuring each piece is lightly dusted for a crispy finish.
  2. Sauté the onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Brown the chicken pieces in the pot, cooking them on all sides until golden brown, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken, then sprinkle in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
  6. Stir in the baby spinach if using, folding it gently into the pot until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Mix the cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl, then add it to the pot, stirring to thicken the sauce.
  8. Garnish your dish with chopped green onions or parsley before serving.
