Ingredients

  • 2.5 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 600 g Meat, chicken, breasts

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 0.25 teaspoons Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 300 ml Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 2 teaspoons Mustard

  • 200 g Spinach, raw

Steps

  1. Wash the chicken breast halves and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides with pepper and salt. Peel and finely chop the onion.

  2. Heat 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sear the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook them for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping once, until they are golden brown on both sides.

  3. Remove the seared chicken breasts from the pan and keep them warm on a plate, covered, to retain heat. Pour the remaining oil into the pan and wait for it to heat up. Add the chopped onion to the hot oil and sauté it over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent and soft. Then, pour in the chicken broth and increase the heat. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any caramelized bits from cooking the meat. Wait for the sauce to boil, then reduce the heat and stir in the mustard. Season the sauce with pepper and salt to taste. Return the chicken to the pan, cover it, and simmer everything on low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Add more liquid if needed.

  4. Clean, wash, and thoroughly dry the spinach leaves. Serve the chicken fillets on plates. Add the spinach leaves on the side. Pour the sauce over the dish and serve.
