This is such a simple chicken recipe, but I love its combination of apples and spinach and a simple sauce. If you’re eating light, or if you just need a lighter dinner option after the holidays, try this chicken!
Ingredients needed:
vegetable or canola oil chicken breast salt and freshly ground black pepper garlic spicy brown mustard apple cider Granny Smith apple baby spinach or Swiss chard
How to make Apple Spinach Chicken:
Heat oil in a pan. Add chicken breast and cook until browned on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet, and cover with foil to keep warm. Add garlic, mustard, apple cider and apples to the pan. Bring to a boil, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add chicken and its juices back to the pan. Cook until the sauce thickens and the chicken cooks through. Add spinach or Swiss chard to the pan, and toss until it wilts. Serve the chicken and apples over the wilted spinach. Drizzle with sauce.
This isn’t a heavy recipe with a heavy cream sauce or anything like that. Expect something light and flavorful. Sometimes it’s nice to eat something that tastes like it’s good for you. Enjoy!
