Directions
Broiled Chipotle Chicken With Creamy Spinach, I adopted this recipe after Mean Chef IHHDRO left the site. His original comments were, “This is a very simple and delicious broiled chicken breast dish. It is from Rick Bayless. The flavor comes from the use of chipotles and creme fraiche.” My original review stated, “Very easy, but wonderfully tasty meal. used whipping cream, as creme fraiche is not available in my area. I also doubled the sauce and the spinach, as advised by *Shelly*. It was great. My only mistake was to add an extra chipotle to the mix…it was just a little spicy for my tastes, but my hubby had no complaints. There were no leftovers with this dinner.” We have since made this many times and always enjoy it., Simply delicious!, I love this recipe!!! I get spinach and my kids and husband will also eat it. I cook onions and garlic in butter then make the sauce with them and it works great . I also add some adobo sauce to the spinach. I forgot spinach at the store for the last month and finally I rembered this week it was worth the wait.
