We eat chicken so often I am surprised we don't cluck! I am always searching for new chicken recipes to try and came across this one by Ellie Krieger of the Food Network. It is delicious! A nice change from the grilled chicken breast with veggies that we have frequently. Enjoy!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic chopped (I used 2 garlic cloves - just depends on your taste and how much garlic breath you want :) )
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces fresh baby spinach - washed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 can chopped tomotoes with juice
2 cups whole wheat couscous, cooked (I found this in my grocery store's organic section, or you might try the "international aisle" too.)
Directions:
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. While the chicken is cooking, follow the instructions on the couscous box and cook the couscous. Remove the chicken and set aside. Lower the heat to medium and add the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth to the pan and stir, scraping up the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits (the yummy flavor parts!) Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook about 3-5 minutes. To the same pan, add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
