Driving home after a long day, I surprisingly got the urge to cook something from scratch. I was in a chicken and artichoke mood, so I started there and wandered around the grocery store. I ended up with just a few ingredients to add to what I already had at home and I was ready to go. The result is a full and delicious stew put over a bed of bulgur wheat. I am proud to say that this recipe is completely original!

-1 lb. chicken breast thinly sliced
-2 cups baby spinach (regular bag full)
-1 14.5oz can quartered artichoke hearts
-1 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes (plain or flavor of your choice)
-1 can tomato paste
-4 tbs lemon juice
-2 tbs balsamic vinegar
-1.5 tsp minced garlic
-1 tbs honey
-heavy dash cinnamon
-light dash oregano
-light dash ginger
-heavy dash cumin
-1 cup dry bulgur wheat
Directions:

-Add garlic, honey, balsamic vinegar, spices and let simmer for a few minutes
-Add artichoke and diced tomatoes and let simmer for a few minutes
