Chicken strips in a creamy sauce with spinach and rice

Prepare the ingredients. This is what awaits on your plate – creamy chicken with spinach and a bean sauce served with rice; prepare the ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly 🍗🍚🔥

Cook the rice. Put the rinsed rice into a pot with twice the amount of water, bring to a boil, stir, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 12 minutes until tender.

Prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken into strips, season with salt and pepper, and lightly drizzle with oil.

Sear the chicken. Heat a little oil in a pot or a deep frying pan and sear the chicken over high heat for about 3-4 minutes until golden, then set it aside.

Make the sauce. Add the cream and the beans (including a little of the liquid if you like) to the same pot, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.

Blend and finish cooking. Blend the sauce with an immersion blender until smooth, return the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes over medium heat.

Add the spinach. Add the spinach and cook it in the sauce for about 1 minute until wilted.

Finish the rice. Remove the rice from the heat, fluff it with a fork and let it rest under the lid for a few minutes.

Serve. Serve the chicken in the sauce with the rice 🍽️✨
