Prep Notes
Aim for organic ingredients when possible.
Cooking Time
<15 Minutes
Yields
1 Serving
Ingredients
- 4 oz chicken breast (pre-cooked)
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- Black peppercorns
- 1/2 fresh lime or lemon
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil (I recommend olive, coconut, or avocado oil)
- Cast iron skillet
Directions
- Cut your (pre-baked) chicken into small 1/2 inch x 1-inch strips.
- Wash, peel, and chop your onion into rings.
- Heat cast iron skillet on the stove for 30 seconds (medium temperature). Note: if you heat it up any longer than this before adding the oil, you put yourself at danger for the oil splashing on you.
- Add 1 teaspoon cooking oil and use a paper towel to spread a very thin layer of oil evenly across the skillet.
- Allow the skillet to continue to heat for an additional minute
- Evenly distribute chicken and onions on the skillet, allowing them to sizzle for 5 minutes or until grill marks are achieved.
- Sprinkle some ground peppercorns on the chicken/onions.
- Squeeze your 1/2 lime/lemon on the chicken/onions.
- Flip chicken/onions to other side and let sizzle for 5 minutes.
- Once you are satisfied with the grill level of the chicken/onions, turn off the stove and fold baby spinach into the chicken/onions.
- Once spinach is softened/cooked by the steam, plate and enjoy, inshaAllah (Godwilling)
Notes
You can use this indoor grilling tips for any other things that you normally grill outside. Indoor grilling is a lot healthier, as it doesn't have the conventional fumes and chemicals found in traditional outdoor grilling. It's also easier to clean. :)
