This dish turned out absolutely awesome! Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like spinach, ate it all up!

  • olive oil
  • butter
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 1" piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • pinch hot pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 T ground cumin
  • 1 T coriander
  • 2 t turmeric
  • 1/4 t ground cardamom
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 6 oz pkg baby spinach
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a little oil and butter. When the butter foams, add the onion, ginger, flakes and garlic; season with salt and the spices. Sauté 5-6 minutes; stir in tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
Add stock and spinach and stir. Reduce heat to medium and add chicken. Cook in the sauce for 6-7 minutes, or til chicken is cooked through.


Served with white rice.

That sounds great. It's different from I usually make. I will have to try it.
Sounds yummy! My boyfriend likes hot spicy stuff. So this would be great to make for him.

Let me know if you try it, Diane.

I sure will, might be a couple of weeks we are going out camping again in a few days for a couple of weeks.

Looks so delicious, and fairly easy to put together!

Looks pretty good to me!

After going to the trouble to make something that looks that good he better like it.

LOL!

You did good, Shannon. You made me drool and posted the recipe. Thank you. Does chicken really cook in a short 7 minutes? I know my home grown take about 16 hours of boiling, but if you tell me a store bought will cook in that short of time. Well, let's just say that I'm storing this post.

If the chicken is diced really small, it should cook up quickly. Plus it will cook a little further in the sauce.

If you make it, let me know!

What part of the chicken is the saag ?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt May 13, 2012, 11:33am UTC
The spinach, if I remember correctly.

We also had a Rachael recipe tonight, from the latest issue of her magazine - in the Meal Planner and it was Sausage Meatballs and Spaghetti. Just yummy.
