How to Make Balsamic Chicken With Baby Spinach
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pan and set aside to rest.
- Add 5 ounces of baby spinach to the same pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup chicken broth to the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add 1/2 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes, halved. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Serve the balsamic tomato sauce over 1 cup cooked couscous or rice. Top with the spinach and sliced chicken breasts.
