Steps:
- In the small bowl, stir together the chopped chipotles and Crema Mexican. Smear all over the chicken breasts, then cover and refrigerate for several hours.
- Turn on the broiler and let it get very hot. Lay the chicken breasts in the baking dish, then place about 6 inches under the broiler and cook until good and brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and drizzle the rest of the cream around them, not on top. Set the pan back under the broiler and cook until the chicken is deep golden and no longer feels squishy when pressed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the oven. Don't forget.
- Place one chicken breast on each warm plate and keep them warm in the oven while preparing the spinach and sauce. They will only be in the oven for a few minutes, so don't panic.
- Scrape the broiled cream mixture into the saucepan and add the broth and spinach. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir nearly constantly until the spinach wilts and the cream reduces, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with a little salt.
- Divide the spinach among the 4 plates and spoon the sauce around the chicken and spinach. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place the chopped canned chipotles and 2 tablespoons thick cream in a small bowl, and mix to combine.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl, and pour the chipotle mixture over it, making sure to coat the chicken well. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer dish to the refrigerator. Marinate the chicken 2 to 3 hours.
- Heat the broiler. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish (preferably earthenware) just large enough to accommodate them. Place the baking dish 6 inches away from the broiler, and broil chicken until deep brown in color, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove dish from broiler. Turn chicken breasts, and drizzle remaining 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons thick cream around the chicken. Return the dish to the broiler, and broil until chicken is deep golden and no longer squishy when you lightly press it with your finger, 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a warm platter, and transfer platter to a warm oven.
- Scrape the cream mixture from the baking dish into a medium-large saucepan. Add the chicken stock and the spinach. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach has wilted and the cream has reduced and thickened, about 3 minutes. Season mixture with salt, and serve creamy spinach with the broiled chicken.
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. I 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.

Steps:
- Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 200˚ F. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put 1 cup flour on a plate. Beat the eggs in shallow bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil. Coat 2 chicken breasts in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs. Carefully add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (reduce the heat slightly if the chicken is browning too quickly). Remove the chicken to the hot pan in the oven. Repeat with the remaining 2 chicken breasts.
- Discard the oil and wipe out the skillet. Add the butter and melt over medium-high heat. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup flour; cook, whisking, until the mixture is bubbling but not browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, then the chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and Parmesan and cook until heated through and well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Serve over the chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler with rack 8 inches from heating element. Combine leeks, potatoes, broth, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Broil, stirring once halfway through, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with coriander, salt, and pepper, then place, skin-side down, atop leeks and potatoes. Broil 8 minutes. Flip chicken; scatter lemon wedges around it. Broil until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of thighs (avoiding bones) registers 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes more. Transfer chicken to serving plates. Stir spinach into leek-potato mixture until wilted. Serve chicken with vegetables, lemon wedges, and pan juices.
Tips:
- To ensure chicken is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.
- If spinach is too wet, squeeze out excess moisture before adding to the skillet.
- For a creamier sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Serve with a side of rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This Broiled Chipotle Chicken with Creamy Spinach is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the spinach is creamy and flavorful.
