Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast
0.3 lb onion (150 g) 1 medium onion
0.25 lb leek (100 g) 1 leek
0.3 lb mushrooms (150 g) white mushrooms
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or butter
1/2 tsp dried chili flakes
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 pinch sea salt
2 cups chicken broth
0.3 lb spinach (100 g) fresh or frozen

Instructions

Sauté the chicken: Sauté the chicken strips in olive oil until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the vegetables: In the same oil, sauté the onion and leek. Season with salt and let them sweat (poach) until translucent and soft.

Add mushrooms: Stir in the mushrooms, cut into quarters.

Combine: Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and stir well to combine the flavors.

Spice it up: Season with another pinch of salt, then add the turmeric and ground chili (guindilla). Be careful not to let the spices burn, as they can become bitter.

Simmer: Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes.

Final touch: Add the fresh spinach (optional) during the last minute of cooking. Once wilted, it's ready to serve.
