Spiced Chicken and Greens
Makes 2 servings

1 lb raw chicken, cut into small pieces 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper, or your preferred spice mix 2 Tbsp butter 2 tsp garlic, minced 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 Tbsp cream cheese 3 cups chopped spinach, kale, orach, or whatever greens you like
Pour a small amount of oil into a skillet and place it over high heat.
Combine chicken pieces, cumin, salt, and pepper in a zipped plastic bag and mush them all around to coat the seasoning onto the chicken pieces. Dump them into the hot skillet and turn heat to medium, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is seared and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
If you are using frozen greens, microwave them for a minute or two, so they are thawed when you cook them.
Melt the butter in the pan. Add garlic and let it sizzle for 30 seconds, then add the lemon juice and cream cheese. Stir it all until the cream cheese and butter are totally melted and the chicken drippings are mixed in. Add the greens to the pan and stir until they are wilted and coated with the sauce.
