Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the leek and mushrooms, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the spinach and chives.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the sliced leek, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat evenly.
- Gradually add the light sour cream, stirring continuously until a smooth sauce forms.
- Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables and sauce.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.
- Sprinkle chopped chives over the dish.
- Serve hot, optionally with a side of your choice such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Don’t overcook the chicken; it should be tender and juicy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or non-stick pan to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to replace light sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for an extra burst of freshness.
