It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

1-2 hrs
ingredients
1 full boneless chicken breast, cut in bite size chunks
2/3 cup canned coconut milk
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/3 teaspoon (or to taste) cayenne powder
salt
black pepper
lemon juice
oil (preferably coconut oil, but generic vegetable oil will do)
directions
Marinate chicken in lemon juice for 30 minutes, drain and season with salt and pepper to taste. Saute over medium heat until cooked on outside but slightly pink inside. Drain oil and place chicken in a container and set aside
Saute onions, stirring constantly, until slightly browned. Add bell peppers and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to simmer, add coconut milk, ginger, cayenne powder, and lemon rind. Add chicken back to stew. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until in thick stew consistency. If mixture is too thin simmer with lid removed until desired consistency is reached. Serve over a bed of steamed white rice.
cook's notes
Recipe calls for tomato instead of bell pepper but I am allergic to tomatoes and I find the bell pepper maintains its flavor better. Also, 1 lb shelled and deveined shrimp can be added to or substituted for the chicken.
I found this recipe in the home of a family I befriended in Fianarantsoa, Madagascar. It's very easy to make, filling, and tasty.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
