Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1.50 lb chicken breasts
680g
1 leek
180g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
1 cup light sour cream
230g
2 cups spinach
60g
1 tbsp chives
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice the leek and mushrooms, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the spinach and chives.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- 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.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- 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.
4. Create the Sauce:
- 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.
5. Combine and Simmer:
- 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.
6. Finish and Serve:
- 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.

Voila! Your one-pan mushroom and spinach chicken is now ready to be served. This wholesome and tasty dish is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it on its own or pair it with a side of your choice for a complete meal. Enjoy the flavors and the convenience of this delightful recipe!
