I was doing an ingredient search using chicken, spinach, and heavy cream to find a recipe, and this came up. Easily THE BEST recipe I've used on this site. I tweeked the recipe as another reviewer suggested, using curry instead of cumin, cordiander, and ginger -- AND I added some honey, lemon juice, and coconut milk, which really gave the whole dish an East Indian taste. It was FANTASTIC -- even my 13 year old didn't mind all of the spinach! Pour it over rice for a tasty dish.

I didn't use your recipe exact, but was looking to use up some frozen spinach I had in my fridge and some cooked and separated chicken meat and couldnt figure anything out. your recipe was a great inspiration, I cut up half an onion and 3 large garlic cloves, and about a tbsp of fresh ginger and cooked them down in butter, with red pepper flakes, added the spinach and chicken along with salt and cooked for a bit, then added some sourcream as someone else who had no cream recommended. I also used curry powder instead of the other spices, then added a can of coconut milk, and about a 1/4 of honey, a squirt of lemon juice and lime juice, it tastes amazing! thanks for your inspiration!!!

Excellent base recipe! I took others' suggestions and added 2X the spices right off, along with garam masala. I also used actual green onions instead of dried flakes since I had some to use up. Chopped tomatoes stirred in at the end were nice for a color contrast and to help balance out the spiciness. Served over rice. Yum!

This was a very bland recipe. I had to double the spices and then add 2 tsp. each of curry powder and garam masala to make it edible

"Are you trying to torture us?" asked my husband when he saw what I was scooping up this recipie on top of a plate of rice (we have two fussy eaters, ages 5 and 8 - and maybe a 43 year old, too....). Well... he was the first one up for a second helping and that was before our two children voiced their approval of the meal as well. I added cornstarch, more broth and a blend of sour cream/milk to make it more 'soupy' like a wet curry(I didn't have any cream on hand) and followed the advice for a fresh chopped onion instead of the onion powder. Such an excellent, flavorful taste, especially for such little work. Thank you for posting it.

I think this was a great quick and easy meal. I used fresh spinach instead and made it more soupy/creamy by adding more heavy cream and some cornstarch. I also used less chicken that the recipe called for but it turned out great over some rice. My husband loved it.

Easy enough to prepare. A bit bland. I will take the others' advice to add onion next time and additional spices.

I liked this! The kids liked it too - the only issue is that it looks a little like a pile of spinach which made the kids not want to eat it - once they did, they admitted that it was tasty! But - seriously - forget the onion powder - just chop a real onion and fry it off before adding the chicken/spices etc. Great recipe - simple and really tasty! Thanx.

I tried the recipe as listed and it was bland. The next time I changed it a little - onion and bell pepper sauteed with the chicken, make sure you brown the chicken well, extra pepper flakes and extra garlic and shredded parmesan cheese on top. I served it over rice and my adult family loved it. The kids liked the chicken but picked the spinach out.

Since the spinach sounded like it may end up tasting a little like creamed spinach, I added an onion while cooking the chicken to make the flavor complete. I left most of the liquids in the pan (and I pre-cooked and drained the spinach), so I recommend reducing cream and/or broth by half or so. Good flavor... an interesting combo. Might be good over rice. Definitely not 4 servings. I suggest adjusting the recipe to use 1 breast per serving needed.
