Paleo Ginger Chicken Breasts over Green Spinach
"To save money, I like to pack my lunch as often as possible. One of the easiest ways I’ve found to pack a Paleo lunch is to batch cook my meat, and then portion it to eat throughout the month. Sometimes I’ll eat it with a sweet potato or cauliflower rice. Sometimes I’ll just top a salad or spinach with the meat. It’s versatile. And that’s exactly why I like this Ginger Chicken Breast recipe."

I’ll definitely use this as a base in the future. No time for sautéing mentioned. I just sautéed onions for a minute, added ginger for 30 seconds and then added the coconut aminos. I only had 2 chicken breasts, so cut the recipe in half. Going forward, I will definitely use double the amount of onion and coconut aminos. After 10 minutes, I flipped the chicken breasts over. After a total of 25 minutes, I removed the chicken breasts, added 4 cups baby spinach, covered and wilted it for 1 minute. Going forward, I will use at least 6 cups of spinach for 2 breasts since I am wilting it. My husband claimed this was very tasty and he would like some rice on the side.
