Instructions
- Place olive oil in a pot, and add chopped onions. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat with constant stirring until onions are clear and begin to brown.

- Add chicken meat to pot, stirring consistently until it becomes opaque and begins to brown (about 6-8 minutes).
- Stir in spinach.
- Add tomato paste, mustard, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Continue to stir until mixture thickens a bit (about 5 minutes).
