INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
6 leaves Fresh Basil
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish. Pour in the light coconut milk and fresh lime juice, then add torn basil leaves. Marinate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the spinach until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, and has a slight golden crust.
In the last couple of minutes, pour the remaining marinade over the chicken to create a light sauce.
Plate the chicken, drizzle with any extra pan sauce, and serve alongside the sautéed spinach. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
