Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, then cook for 5-8 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same pan, sauté the garlic 1 minute, until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the garlic, then slowly pour in the chicken stock, stirring to prevent lumps from forming.

4. 4

   Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
