  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Balsamic Vinegar

How to Make Balsamic Chicken With White Beans Spinach

  1. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until browned on both sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in balsamic vinegar and cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add rinsed and drained cannellini beans and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
