Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 250 grams sliced mushrooms
  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 2 Tbsps butter unsalted
  • 2 cups baby spinach roughly chopped
  • salt and pepper seasoning
  • 3 garlic cloves finely sliced
  • 2 small green onions or spring onion
  • salt & pepper

Spicy Marinade

Instructions
 

  • Dry the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels
  • Season both sides with salt & pepper.
  • Make the spice marinade: In a jug mix the spices and seasoning, olive oil and lemon juice. Use half the spice marinade to pour over the chicken and set it aside while you prep the remaining ingredients.
  • Tip: Taste the seasoning and add salt & pepper to your preference.Spices used in this recipe: 13 SpiceSalt & Pepper, Calabrese spice
  • Prep the spinach: Rinse the baby spinach and dry in a salad spinner or colander over a rack.
  • Cook the chicken: In a skillet, melt the butter and heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Tip: The trick to this recipe is to add more butter if needed and baste, baste, baste! The chicken comes out flavorful and tender. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering them with foil to keep them warm.
  • Cook the mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-6 minutes until they become tender and start to brown. Season the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking.
  • Aromatics: Add the finely sliced garlic and chopped green onions (or spring onions) to the skillet with the mushrooms. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant.
  • Cook the spinach: Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
  • Return the chicken: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet with the mushroom and spinach mixture. Allow the chicken to reheat for a minute or two in the skillet, and add the remaining marinade. Leave any remaining marinade covered in the fridge for another recipe, if any.
  • Serve: Serve the chicken, mushrooms, and spinach hot, with the delicious sauce from the skillet drizzled over the top.

Notes

Tip: The trick to this recipe is to add more butter if needed and baste, baste, baste! The chicken comes out flavorful and tender.  Use a spoon to baste the chicken as it cooks starting half-way through the cooking process. 
Spicy Marinade:  This spicy marinade can be made ahead. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a ziploc bag or container with a lid. Pour the marinade over and refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight. Use as per recipe instructions to cook. 
Storage:  Any leftover marinade can be stored in a jar in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. 
Left-overs:  Left over food from this recipe can be re-created, simply add cream and rewarm.
