SAAG CHICKEN

This is a wonderful, healthy and easy Indian recipe that I love to make. It is full of flavors, vitamins and absolutely delicious.

Servings 4 Steps 6

ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 lb spinach cleaned and stemmed

1 tbl garlic paste (see my recipe)

1 tbl ginger paste (see my recipe)

2 tbl plain Greek yogurt

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground (or leaf) fengugreek*

1 tsp chili powder

½ cup water

salt to taste

*I get my spices at www.savoryspiceshop.com

directions

1. Grab a heavy pan and over a medium high heat add the garlic paste, ginger paste, yogurt. Coriander, fengugreek, chili powder and water

2. Mix and add the chicken

3. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for about 30 min

4. When the chicken is ¾ cooked add the spinach by the handful letting it cook down a bit so there is room to add more. When all of the spinach is in let it cook for 5 min

5. Using tongs remove the spinach and blend it well in a food processor with a few tablespoons of the pan juice

6. Add the spinach puree back to the chicken, cook another 3 minutes and serve

I like to serve this with a simple cauliflower rice!
