Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, which is 175°C. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat up for about 1 minute until it shimmers.
  2. 2Add the 1 medium onion, cut into 1.27 cm pieces, to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion pieces are soft and translucent.
  3. 3Add the 4 cloves of garlic, minced, and the 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated, to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. 4Stir in the 2 tablespoons of Berbere spice blend. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  5. 5Add the about 680 g of chicken breast, cut into 2.54 cm cubes, to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  6. 6Pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
  7. 7Add the about 285 g of spinach to the pot. Stir gently until the spinach wilts into the chicken and sauce, which will take about 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. 8Serve the Ethiopian Inspired Chicken and Spinach hot.
