Chicken Pomodoro
This dish is bursting with fresh flavor that is engulfed by an Italian sauce full of garlic, basil & rosemary. It cooks a lot faster than many recipes for Chicken Pomodoro because the chicken is cut into bite size pieces before cooking. Plus it has an entire container of Organic💚Girl Baby Spinach in it, so you are getting so many nutrients from the vegetables. Did you know that spinach is full of vitamin K, vitamin A, iron & magnesium & calcium, just to name a few!?!
And I love it that Organic💚Girl triple washes all of their pre-packaged lettuces, spinach, arugula & kale so that I never have to worry about that one extra step in meal prep. Check out their website & sign up to receive awesome stuff from them in your email inbox!
Spend a little bit of time on the front end to get the ingredients ready & you will be able to whip up this amazing dinner in about 30 minutes.
Serve this over a spaghetti squash or along side some mashed sweet potatoes.
Chicken Pomodoro
ingredients
3 pounds chicken tenders, cut into bite size pieces
2 pints of grape tomatoes
1 large shallot {or 2 small ones}
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 - 5ounce container, Organic💚Girl baby spinach
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon arrowroot flour
2 teaspoons pepper
a big handful of chopped basil & rosemary
directions
in a small bowl, combine the coconut milk & the chicken broth with the arrowroot flour. mix it really well & set aside.
place 1/4 cup olive oil in the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. place chicken pieces in skillet & sprinkle the italian seasoning, salt & pepper over the chicken. stir consistently for several minutes until all chicken pieces look mostly browned but not cooked all the way through.
use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken to a plate & keep warm, reserve all pan drippings. add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil & place shallots & tomatoes in pan. sauté several minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened & skins of tomatoes are slightly blistered.
turn heat to low, add in garlic & cook 1 more minute.
pour in the chicken broth mixture & stir to coat all the onions, tomatoes & garlic. it should become thick almost instantly.
place all the spinach & fresh herbs in a single layer over the tomatoes & onions, then add the chicken & any liquid that has accumulated from the chicken, on top. do not mix it up. leave it layered & cover to cook on low for 12-15 minutes.
uncover & mix it all together. serve over spaghetti squash or with mashed sweet potatoes.
