Instructions
- Cook chicken in a large pan over medium heat until full done. Remove from pan, setting aside for now.

- Add in the spinach, cooked chicken, sage, salt and pepper and allow to cook for an additional minute or two.
- To a small dish, add tapioca flour and room temperature water. Mix until fully dissolved. Add mixture to the pan. Stir well and the mixture will begin to thicken.
