Easy Creamy Spinach Chicken

This is one of the easiest meals that I like to make for my girls at least once a week or every other week. It is very easy to make, fast, and nutritious!! Also everybody in the family like it!! I came out with this recipe when my older daughter was around 2 years old. I wanted her to learn how to eat spinach but I was afraid that she could choke with the spinach leaves. One day I tried it this way and since them I haven't stop making this dish. I usually make rice with fried noodles (look for this recipe on my next post http://mymealsfromscratch.blogspot.com/2011/10/jasmine-rice-with-fried-noodles.html) or any type of pasta I have in my pantry. Hope you will start making and eating it too. I will guarantee that your kids will love it!! Don't tell them that there is spinach until they try it and they like it! Also leftovers if any ;) are great to pack in the lunch boxes next day!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive oil

1 Cup of White Wine (optional)

2 Cups of Organic Chicken broth

1 Cup of Heavy Cream

2+ pounds Fresh Organic Chicken thighs skinless and boneless (You could use chicken breast but it won’t be as juicer as with thighs)

1 Yellow or White Onion

3-4 Garlic's Cloves

4-5 cups of Fresh Baby Spinach chopped

Salt and pepper

Preparation

First wash the chicken thighs with fresh water and pad dry the chicken thighs with paper towel. Remove all the fat using your kitchen scissors. Cut the chicken in small cubes. Salt and pepper and leave on the side while you chop the onion and clean the garlic’s cloves. Heat the olive oil in a medium size pan on medium high heat; add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add chicken and brown it turning the chicken constantly so it is all nice brown in all the sides. Add wine and cook the chicken until all the alcohol burns off. You will know all alcohol burned off when your stir the chicken and it is smooth and creamy about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and let it simmer. Low the heat and cover and cook until the chicken tender about 20 minutes. Uncover and let it evaporate if it is too juicy. Add the chopped spinach until it turns dark green or wilted; about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, low the heat, stir, and wait until it gets a nice creamy consistency. Do not let it boil. When it is done turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Serve it with brown rice, Jasmine rice with fried noodles, or any cooked pasta!! Let me know if you make it!!
