My girlfriend asked me the other day how I come up with a new recipe, to be honest there is usually no better way than to pick a meat for the dish and then go from there. I usually then look into the fridge and think of things I know go together. Usually I go for flavour combinations that I know, but in this particular case the fridge was fairly bare so I ended up wandering the aisles of the local supermarket looking for something to throw in when I saw some particularly nice looking avocados.
So with the avocado in mind I used guacamole as my inspiration for the sauce. First I fried the onion, garlic, tomato and chilli in some olive oil. When these started to soften I added the cubed chicken breast and pepper. When the chicken sealed I added the white wine, a vegetable stock cube, the lemon and lime juice, a few drops of Worcester sauce and the avocado reducing the heat and covering the pan. I left this to simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally before adding the chopped spinach and covering, leaving to simmer until the spinach had wilted.
I served this with new potatoes and fine beans, surprisingly tasty!
