Garlic Chicken & Spinach over Spaghetti
Garlic Chicken & Spinach over Spaghetti
Ingredients
-
2-4 chicken breasts*
-
1/2 onion, sliced thin
-
7 cloves garlic, finely diced
-
1/2-1 bag frozen spinach*
-
nutmeg, pepper, salt, Italian seasoning (no particular amounts, I just sprinkle in what looks good to me)
-
2 c. chicken stock
-
a few splashes of milk or heavy cream
-
1/2 box spaghetti noodles, cooked
Directions
Lightly grease a large skillet (I use olive oil) and warm over medium heat. Salt and pepper chicken breasts to taste. Place in skillet to brown. Flip after 3-5 minutes. Brown other side for 3-5 minutes, reduce heat to med-low, cover pan and cook an additional 20-25 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and cube. If needed, add more oil to the pan. Add the onion and let cook for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in spinach and seasonings, cook until combined. Toss the chicken cubes back into the pan. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and let boil until reduced by half, stirring frequently. Add the milk and cook about 1 more minute. Toss well with spaghetti noodles. Eat or refrigerate until later. This is just as delicious when served as a cold salad.
*If you use only 2 chicken breasts, use the whole bag of spinach, and vice-versa. You could probably even omit the chicken altogether and still have a great meal. (Maybe add some toasted walnuts or top with cheese for extra protein.)
