👨🍳 Инструкции

Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.

Add the minced garlic and chopped chili pepper (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the chopped spinach (bagique), bay leaf, and water or chicken broth. If using fresh spinach, it will wilt down considerably.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce it.

Serve hot with cooked white rice.
