Instructions
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Strip thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop. Zest, then juice lemon. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.
Add zucchini, lemon zest, half the lemon juice and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, until tender-crisp, 12-14 min.
While zucchini roasts, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook on one side, until golden, 4-5 min. Flip, then cover and continue cooking, until cooked through, 6-7 min.** Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then thyme, garlic and onions. Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 1-2 min.
Add cream cheese, remaining lemon juice, broth concentrate and 1/3 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and gently simmer, until sauce thickens slightly, 4-5 min. Add spinach to sauce. Stir until slightly wilted, 30 sec.
Thinly slice chicken. Divide zucchini and spinach between plates. Top spinach with chicken. Drizzle cream sauce over top.
