Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Lemon-Ricotta Sauce and Sautéed Spinach
A savory pan-seared chicken dish featuring tender chicken breast topped with a silky, tangy lemon-ricotta sauce and a side of lightly sautéed spinach. This dish balances rich, creamy flavors with a burst of citrus, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
3 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the low-fat ricotta cheese and lemon juice to create a creamy sauce, allowing it to warm through slightly without boiling.
Return the chicken to the skillet briefly to coat with the sauce.
In a separate pan, quickly sauté the spinach over medium heat until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the chicken topped with the creamy lemon-ricotta sauce and serve alongside the sautéed spinach.
