Notes
For a stovetop version, cook seasoned chicken in a stockpot with olive oil until fully cooked.
Add vegetables, lemon, ginger, and sriracha and sauté with the chicken until softened.
Add tomato paste and chicken stock, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for at least 1 hour.
Add spinach just before serving to preserve freshness.
