INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

2 cup fresh spinach

0.5 oz pine nuts

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place a dry skillet over medium heat and add the pine nuts, tossing frequently for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant.

• 2

  Remove the pine nuts from the pan and set them aside to prevent over-toasting.

• 3

  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  In the same skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Add the chicken breast to the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is golden.

• 6

  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

• 7

  While the chicken rests, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.

• 8

  Add the fresh spinach to the pan and toss with the garlic until just wilted, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

• 9

  Squeeze the lemon juice over the spinach and stir to combine the flavors.

• 10

  Slice the chicken and serve it over the bed of garlic spinach, garnished with the reserved toasted pine nuts.
