Chicken with spinach in cream sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to put out chicken with spinach in cream sauce in a frying pan? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. For the recipe, you can use a whole chicken, like me, or its individual parts: fillets, shanks or thighs, with or without bones. Cream can be of any fat content, but the higher the percentage of fat content, the higher the calorie content of the dish will be. I use cream with a fat content of 20 percent. They are just right for sauces.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the chicken, dry it and cut it into portions, if desired, simultaneously removing the skin from them. Since the cream is of medium fat content, I removed the skin to reduce the calorie content of the dish. If the resulting breast halves are large, it is better to cut them into 2-3 parts. I decided not to use wings here - they are more suitable for soup.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the onion and cut into cubes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash and dry the spinach. Remove the long petioles. Tear large leaves with your hands. If it is not possible to buy fresh spinach, you can replace it with frozen. It will need to be defrosted and drained of the released liquid.

5. Step 5:

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Put the chicken and onion and fry, stirring, for 7-10 minutes until a golden crust appears on the chicken.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour in cold cream, add spices and herbs. On how to make sure that the cream does not curdle, see the special article in the link under the recipe.

8. Step 7:

   

   Simmer under the lid for 15 minutes or longer until the chicken is cooked. If the pieces are large, and even with bones, then it will most likely take longer than the specified time to extinguish. And before adding spinach, check the meat for readiness - it should not be red or bright pink at the bones.

9. Step 8:

   

   If the chicken is ready, add the prepared spinach to the pan. Stir and warm everything together for 1-2 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spinach should shrink, become soft.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the pan from the heat. Arrange the chicken and spinach on plates and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
