Balsamic Chicken with Baby Spinach


Ingredients


  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
  • 8 ounces baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.50z) of Hunt's basil garlic and oreganono salt added diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 cups whole wheat couscous, cooked

Directions

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove the chicken and set aside. To the same pan, add the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Lower the heat to medium and add the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth to the pan and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook 5 to 10 minutes, to desired thickness of sauce

Place the couscous in a serving bowl. Top with the spinach, chicken and balsamic-tomato sauce.

* This is an awesome recipe from Ellie Krieger that I tweaked minorly. It can be on the table in 15 minutes including prep time and is a recipe that will become a weekly family favorite

  4. We enjoyed this. I served it over pasta instead of couscous. It's not a weekly dish for us, but I will definitely make it again.
