This serves 4, its really good. You can add whatever veggies you think would taste good with almond butter, surprisingly alot do! I just keep it in the fridge and keep eating it all week.
1 small onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 carrot, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1-1/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Juice and zest of a small lemon
1/2 cup water
Generous 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
1 (9-ounce) package baby spinach leaves or about 4 cups
Seasoning of your choice (I use trader joes salt free seasoning and cinnamon)
Toasted sliced almonds
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, garlic and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook, stirring for 2 more minutes.
2. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until chicken is just cooked through. Add lemon juice and zest, and water to chicken, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
3. Stir in seasoning of your choice and almond butter. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10 minutes to combine flavors. Serve hot, garnished with toasted sliced almonds.
