Chicken with spinach

Chicken with spinach in a creamy sauce is a recipe for a delicious dietary dish. Despite the fact that the dish is cooked in a frying pan or saucepan, the frying process is excluded. You can use both frozen and fresh spinach for cooking. When choosing spinach, pay attention to its appearance, it should not have external defects. The leaves should be smooth, elastic and juicy. If the spinach stem is too wide, this indicates that the greens are already overripe and contain a lot of bitterness.

How to cook Chicken with spinach

Step 1

Chicken with spinach

Cook the chicken. Place a frying pan or saucepan with a thick bottom on the fire, pour in a third of a glass of water and bring to a boil. When the water boils, put the chicken in it, add salt, stir and cook for 10 minutes on low heat, covering with a lid and stirring the chicken broth periodically. If the water boils away, add a little more.

Step 2

Chicken with spinach

Start preparing the sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the starch, mix thoroughly and pour in the cream.

Step 3

Chicken with spinach

Add spinach and sauce. Place fresh or frozen spinach in a saucepan. Simmer until the spinach is softened and the liquid that has formed at the bottom has evaporated. The process will take no more than 3-4 minutes. Then pour in the sauce and mix thoroughly, adding salt if necessary. Keep the spinach on the heat for about 1-2 minutes. Once it has softened, turn off the heat and transfer the finished dish to a plate.

Chicken with spinach - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, frozen chicken works fine, but make sure to thaw it completely before cooking to ensure even cooking and proper texture.
You can use coconut milk, Greek yogurt, or even a dairy-free cream alternative for a lighter or vegan version of the sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Absolutely! Replace the chicken with tofu or chickpeas and use vegetable broth instead of water for a delicious vegetarian alternative.
Yes, this dish freezes well. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
This dish goes great with mashed potatoes, quinoa, or a simple side salad for a balanced meal.
Skip the starch in the sauce or use a low-carb thickener like xanthan gum. Serve with cauliflower rice instead of grains.
Yes, fresh spinach works just as well. Reduce the cooking time slightly since fresh spinach wilts faster than frozen.
Simply double or triple the ingredients, but cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
