Crispy Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with Sautéed Spinach
Savor a perfectly pan-seared chicken breast accented with a zesty lemon garlic finish, served alongside vibrant sautéed spinach. The chicken is lightly crisped in olive oil to lock in juices while the spinach absorbs the garlic and lemon flavors, creating a bright, nutritious dish that delights the palate.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast (141g)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil (14g)
2 cups Fresh Spinach (60g)
2 Garlic Cloves
1 medium wedge Lemon
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry using paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken and add the minced garlic (from the 2 cloves) to the pan, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil as the chicken cooks for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes.
In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and a squeeze of lemon juice from the lemon wedge. Sauté the spinach for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Plate the chicken breast alongside the sautéed spinach and garnish with additional lemon juice if desired.
