INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 Lemon
2 cups Fresh Spinach
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chicken to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden, crispy crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the chicken during the last minute of cooking to infuse zest and brightness.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the fresh spinach over medium heat (you can use the remaining olive oil if desired) for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Season with a pinch of salt.
Plate the seared chicken alongside the sautéed spinach and drizzle any pan juices over the top for added flavor.
