Easy Arugula and Spinach 

This recipe makes use of several ingredients that may be in your refrigerator, especially rotisserie chicken.  Use your imagination and incorporate mushrooms, nuts, cheese, or vegetables that make up all those saved components in your fridge.  Here's the basic recipe...

Ingredients:

1 onion, diced
Olive oil and butter
3 to 4 cloves of garlic, smashed
3 to 4 cups of fresh arugula
3 to 4 cups of fresh spinach
Leftover chicken, ham or any protein

In a skillet, melt butter in extra virgin olive oil.  Add onion and saute over lowest heat until onions are translucent.   Add arugula and spinach.  Remember that these will cook down significantly.  Add garlic and a little chicken broth (if needed).  Add leftover protein and cover pan.  Simmer until protein is warm.

This recipe lends itself well to mushrooms, cheese, cooked bacon, cooked pancetta, etc.  Be creative!
