Chicken in spinach sauce
Chicken breast in spinach sauce is a great idea for a dinner, it will appeal to everyone. The spinach sauce is creamy and slightly garlicy in flavour, which makes it a perfect addition for grilled meat. Some people make chicken in spinach sauce in one pan. First they brown the meat, then add the spinach and cream and continue to cook everything together. I prefer making spinach sauce in a separate pan and then to combine it with the grilled chicken. In turn, I bake or grill the chicken until it is golden brown, so that the meat gets an additional flavour. I recommend you the following recipe for chicken in spinach sauce, because this dish is very tasty and also simple and quite quick to prepare.

Mix water with potato starch in a cup, then pour it over the cooking spinach in the pan. Bring it to a boil and from the moment it starts to boil, cook it over a low heat for 2 minutes.
Cut each chicken breast lengthwise in half, wash and dry them with a paper towel. Combine the oil with salt and pepper, and rub the meat with it. Put the grilling pan on the heat, warm it up.
