Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add 1/2 cup chicken stock to saute pan and heat over medium. Add seasoned chicken slices to the pan (you may have to cook them in batches) and cook for 3 minutes on one side, flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Using the same saute pan, add 2 cloves sliced garlic, lemon juice and lemon slices. Cook until garlic begins to brown.
- Remove the lemon slices and set aside.
- Pour in white wine vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce liquid by half- about 5 minutes of boiling.
- Add 1 cup chicken stock and boil until reduced and slightly thick (about 8 minutes).
- Place the chicken back in the pan and coat in the sauce. Add parsley and stir. Divide between two plates. Garnish with reserved lemon slices.
- Make spinach by heating the remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock in a large pan. Add garlic and salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add spinach, cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat.
- Uncover and continue to cook until the liquid in the pan has dissolved - about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the spinach with the chicken and pour any extra sauce from the chicken over the spinach.
Recipe Notes
- You should be able to get about 4 thin slices of chicken from a 7 oz chicken breast (cut one large breast in 4, horizontally). - The recipe is written for 2 servings. If you want to cook more - you’ll have to adjust the amount of ingredients.
