INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
½ medium Sweet Plantain
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by pounding the chicken breast to even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and olive oil to create a marinade.
Marinate the chicken breast for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the plantain.
Slice the sweet plantain into thin diagonal pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they begin to caramelize and attain a golden hue. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken and cook over medium-high heat. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.
In a separate bowl, toss the fresh spinach with a light drizzle of any remaining marinade or a touch of olive oil, if desired.
Plate the chicken alongside the caramelized plantains and fresh greens. Garnish with a final squeeze of lemon juice and additional pepper if needed.
