Creamy chicken with spinach and cherry tomatoes

This finger-licking good dish has three main ingredients, but you can make it as simple or as complicated as you like! It is keto-friendly, but is also amazing combined with pasta or rice. Let’s get started!

Ingredients per portion:

• 150 gr of chicken breast or boneless chicken thigh

• 200 gr of spinach

• 100 gr of cherry tomatoes

• 10 ml of light culinary cream

• A handful of shredded mozzarella

• Two tablespoons of parmesan cheese

• Fresh basil leaves

• A dash of white wine vinegar

• A tablespoon of garlic powder or two cloves of crused garlic

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• Salt

• Pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare your ingredients:
   • Wash your chicken breast/thigh and pat dry with paper towels, then cut up into bite-sized pieces. Transfer the chicken to a bowl, add a tablespoon of olive oil, a dash of white wine vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic and stir to evenly distribute. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will ensure your chicken doesn’t dry out when you cook it. Make sure to thoroughly wash your hands and clean out the sink to avoid cross-contamination. Wash the spinach and dry using a salad tosser to avoid too much water in the pan when you cook it.Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes and cut in halves.Wash the fresh basil leaves and pat dry.
2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium high heat and toss in the spinach handful by handful. It might seem like a lot of spinach for one portion but spinach reduces massively in size when cooked. When it has wilted down completely, drain and set aside. Pat the frying pan dry with paper towels.
3. Heat the pan over medium heat and toss in the marinated chicken. Fry on both sides until the chicken is completely cooked through. In case you’re unsure, cut a piece of chicken in half to see if it’s completely white inside.
4. Add the cream and the basil to the pan. Crank up the heat a little bit to let the cream soak up the taste of the basil.
5. Now add a few handfuls of mozzarella to your sauce. Add more if you want a cheesier or thicker sauce. Let it bubble and thicken for a few minutes.
6. Turn down the heat a bit an add the cherry tomatoes and the spinach.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste. Grate some parmesan cheese over your dish. Bon appétit!
