Servings: persons

2 chicken breasts, boneless/skinless
2 clove garlic, minced
1 small white onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
2 large handfuls baby spinach
1/2 cup salsa (pick your favourite!)
1 cup chicken broth
1 can sweet corn
1 can peas
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 sea salt & black pepper
1 rice (I prefer basmati or jasmine)

1
Cook the chicken breasts, seasoned with spices of your choice (I love Montreal Steak Spice).
2
Even better and faster, use leftover cooked chicken if you have any (leftover BBQ chicken is my favourite choice!).
3
Once cooked, tear the chicken into shreds and set aside.
4
Saute the garlic and onions in extra virgin olive oil or coconut butter, until the onion is translucent.
5
Add the red pepper and saute a few more minutes.
6
Don't forget to have your rice cooking by now!
7
Add the chicken broth, salsa, chilli pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt & black pepper.
8
Simmer on medium to medium low for about 5 minutes, then add the chicken and simmer for another 5 minutes or so.
9
Add the corn and peas (use either the full can of each, or an amount to your liking).
10
Then add the baby spinach and simmer on medium low until the spinach is wilted.
11
Serve over your favourite rice.
12
Note: for a vegan alternative, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and substitute the chicken for chick peas, or even tofu!
13
Make sure the salsa is vegan friendly as well :)
