Ingredients:
- 500 g chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 300 g fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- Fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into equal cubes to ensure even cooking. Chop the onion and crush the garlic. If using fresh spinach, wash it well and drain it.

2. Sautéing the onion and garlic: In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and starts to caramelize, releasing delicious aromas.

3. Adding the chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the skillet along with the turmeric and cumin. Mix well to coat the meat with the spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden on the outside.

4. Adding the spinach: Place the lid on the skillet and add the spinach. If using frozen spinach, make sure it is well thawed and drained of excess water. Add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth to create a savory sauce. Stir and let it simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes until the spinach wilts and integrates into the dish.

5. Finishing and serving: When the chicken is fully cooked and the spinach is tender, taste and adjust the salt and pepper, then add the lemon juice for an extra touch of freshness. Remove from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.

6. Serving suggestion: Serve Chicken with Spinach a la Amarjit alongside basmati rice or quinoa for a complete meal. You can garnish with fresh parsley leaves for a vibrant look.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of meat, such as chicken thighs, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
