Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Sautéed Greens
Enjoy a bright and flavorful pan-seared chicken dish, enhanced with a zesty lemon garlic marinade and paired with delicately sautéed spinach. Perfectly balanced with lean protein and nutritious greens, this dish brings simplicity and elegance to your plate.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for greens)
2 cloves Garlic
1 wedge Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, mince the garlic and mix with one teaspoon of olive oil and the juice from half of the lemon to create a marinade.
Coat the chicken breast with the lemon garlic mixture and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken breast. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.
In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the remaining garlic if desired, then add the fresh spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
Plate the chicken breast alongside the sautéed greens and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.
