Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus
extra kosher salt, for chicken breasts (divided)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus
extra black pepper, for chicken breasts (divided)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 teaspoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (substitue GF, if needed)
8 cups fat-free chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
3/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
2 cups thinly sliced fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper to taste and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, dice the meat and set aside until needed.
  • While the chicken breasts are baking, heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the butter and melt. Saute the onions and celery until the onions are translucent, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, tarragon, oregano, paprika and remaining 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring, for 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Add the flour and stir until well-combined. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the tomatoes and cream. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the reserved chicken breast and simmer 10 minutes more. Just before serving, stir in the spinach.
