INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 small Potato
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for spinach)
PREPARATION
Begin by placing the chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment and gently pounding it to ensure an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic (reserve one clove for later use in the mashed potatoes or spinach if desired), and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel (if desired) and chop the small potato into cubes. Boil in lightly salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Drain the boiled potato and mash it with the nonfat Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt, and a bit of the reserved minced garlic to infuse extra flavor, creating a creamy texture.
In another skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add a minced garlic clove if desired, and sauté the fresh spinach until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Plate the chicken alongside a serving of the creamy garlic mashed potatoes and a generous portion of sautéed spinach. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the chicken for added brightness if desired.
