Chicken With Spinach

I enjoy getting playful when cooking, more and more since I started this blog. I watch a lot of food shows on television and I  also read cooking magazines, so I’m always trying new recipes while adding a touch of me, mixing and matching with other recipes to make something that suits my taste. I won’t pretend to have created this meal, but I think that everyone makes food in their own way and this way is mine 🙂

Ingredients:

• 500 grams chicken fillet
• 3 tablespoons corn oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 cinnamon stick
• 500 grams fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 can of sliced mushrooms, washed and drained
• 3 large green onions slices
• 1 tablespoon butter

For the sauce:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 cups milk
• 1 handful finely chopped fresh spinach
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash of freshly ground nutmeg

Preparation:

• Rub the chicken fillet with salt and black pepper
• Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the chicken until brown, cover with one cup of water and add the cinnamon stick; let it cook until tender
• In another saucepan, melt the butter, fry the green onion for about 4 minutes then add the mushrooms and the spinach with a dash of salt; cover the saucepan and let it simmer on a very low flame for about 10 minutes

• Prepare the sauce:  melt the butter in a small pot and add the flour, mixing it well
• Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until it becomes thick and add salt, nutmeg and finally the finely chopped spinach

• Serve together in a plate. You can add rice or pasta if you wish, remember to make it your way too 🙂

ET VOILA..C’EST TOUT.. BON APPETIT 🙂
