1
Cook rice

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Combine rice, broth concentrate, 1 1/4 cups water and 1/4 tsp garlic salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving fat in the pan. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 5.)

Make sauce

Add tikka sauce, cream cheese, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/4 cup water (dbl both for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until cream cheese melts and sauce comes to a simmer.

5
Finish chicken

Once sauce is simmering, return chicken to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 3-4 min.**Add spinach and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir until butter melts and spinach wilts, 1 min.
