Add carrots to skillet. Coat w/garlic and onion, add chicken back to skillet. Reduce heat, cover and cook 15-20 min until chicken is done and carrots are soft. Remove carrots and chicken from pan. Set aside. Add chicken broth to skillet and boil to reduce (2-3 min.) Put liquid mixture into blender.--Caution--liquid is very hot and will cause top of blender to come off. I cover w/towel to keep secure and avoid splattering.
While liquid is blending, put clean, dry, spinach in medium saucepan, cover and cook on medium heat 2-3 min until just starting to wilt.
Place spinach on plate, arrange chicken and carrots on top and pour sauce over.
Very delicious, even my kids eat it. A household favorite for sure!!
