Chicken

Sautéed Spinach

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    In a grill pan or outdoor grill, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove from heat and let rest.

Sauté the Spinach

  1. 3

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and sauté until wilted (about 3-4 minutes).

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 6

    Combine Toppings

    In a bowl, mix the chopped artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese until well combined.

Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 7

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 8

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of sautéed spinach, top with a grilled chicken breast, and then generously add the artichoke-sundried tomato-goat cheese mixture.

  2. 10

    Drizzle Sauce

    Drizzle the warm lemon butter sauce over the top of each chicken breast before serving.
