Como fazer Afghani Chicken With Spinach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the chicken: Lightly flour 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total).
Sear the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Sauté aromatics: Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and spices: Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, being careful not to burn the spices.
Simmer the chicken: Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup chicken stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken: Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Add spinach: Remove the skillet from the oven. Add 10 ounces fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
Toast pine nuts: While the spinach wilts, spread ½ cup pine nuts on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Finish the dish: Stir in ¼ cup plain yogurt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with the toasted pine nuts and serve hot with rice or naan bread.
