  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin

  • 1 package frozen spinach
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • HOLLANDAISE OREGANO
  • 5 - egg yolks

How To Make chicken and spinach with hollandaise oregano

  • Step 1
    To start the chicken, just cover with water and boil until cooked through. Remove chicken. Let cool and shred with knife and fork. I like to keep the water from the chicken in a mason jar with a lemon wedge, salt, and pepper.
  • Step 2
    Then in the same pan after the water has been removed, put the olive oil, garlic, and onions. Cook for a minute, then add chicken, wine, and spinach.
  • Step 3
    Cook until the spinach is heated thoroughly. Then lower heat to low and cover. Stirring occasionally.
  • Step 4
    To start sauce, on a lower heat whisk egg yolks. Then add butter. Whisk until totally incorporated.
  • Step 5
    Raise heat to medium while still whisking. Add wine and mustard. Whisk, whisk, whisk.
  • Step 6
    If you would like to add cheese, now would be the time to do it. Whisk until melt. It should be kind of thick now.
  • Step 7
    Add cream and beat until a thinned, even sauce. Now add your oregano. Optionally you may want to add a little cayenne for heat, but I usually do not.
  • Step 8
    I like to serve this with vegetable pasta tossed in olive oil and fresh herbs. Just one scoop of spinach mix and a spoonful of hollandaise. Enjoy and have seconds!
