Enjoy a sophisticated yet simple dish featuring a perfectly pan-seared chicken breast paired with a luxurious whipped feta and a naturally sweet and salty date glaze.

INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Feta Cheese
1 Medjool Date
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Baby Spinach
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the whipped feta by placing the feta cheese in a small bowl. Mash it with a fork or blend it until smooth. If desired, add a teaspoon of water or a squeeze of lemon juice to achieve a creamy consistency. Set aside.
Pit the medjool date and finely chop it or blend it into a paste to form the glaze.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the chicken breast. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
During the last minute of cooking, drizzle the date paste over the chicken to allow it to warm and meld with the chicken’s juices, creating a sweet-salty glaze.
Plate the chicken and dollop the creamy whipped feta on top or on the side.
Serve with a side of fresh baby spinach either tossed lightly in a bit of extra olive oil and lemon or served raw as a simple salad.
