Chicken & Peaches on Spinach


Found too much month left over at the end of the budget! So dug out some frozen chicken breasts. Now for a different twist, this is served with peaches on a bed of creamed spinach. Bright cranberries dot the platter like touches of red holly.


Chicken, spinach, peaches and cranberries found in the cupboard and pantry serve up a new holiday tradition for your table.



Ingredients:
4 pc. boneless- skinless chicken breasts
3 slices bacon
2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz fresh spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup heavy cream
1 can peach slices
dried cranberries

Directions:
Wash spinach and drain completely. As a personal preference, I choose to remove the stems.


In a large sided fry pan over medium-high heat, fry bacon until crisp and grease has been released into the pan. Remove bacon to paper towel.

Add butter to grease in pan.

Sprinkle chicken with salt then add it to skillet and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove chicken to plate.



Add the minced onion. Cook for about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute while stirring.


Add the spinach by handfuls stirring each into the skillet. They will wilt down quickly and allow room for another handful. (This took about 4 handfuls).



Add the ½ cup of heavy cream, salt & nutmeg, mix well. Add the 2 tbs of mayonnaise, stir well.
Mix in the peach slices & dried cranberries. Place chicken pieces into the mix and cover.

Allow to simmer for a good 30 minutes! Stir occasionally just to make sure nothing burns to bottom.



Serve with warm bread. What a wonderfully surprising taste! The secret to cooking spinach is to cook it for at least 20 minutes, this cooks out the sulfur that makes the greens taste bitter. The addition of peaches and cranberries livens up the platter.


So grateful to be serving my Master Indy:
