- 1 medium bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup carrots chopped
- 2 cups spinach leaves, chopped

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 carrots, followed by bell peppers, and stir up so each is cooked a bit (about 5 minutes total).
- 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).
