    1

    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    2

    Add minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.

    3

    In the skillet, push the vegetables to one side and add the chicken. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until it is browned and cooked through.

    4

    Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and cumin while it cooks.

    Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in 1 cup of cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

    6

    Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt in the sauce for about 2 minutes.
