Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil, approximately
3 garlic cloves, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 ounces Baby Spinach, rinsed and dried (1 package baby leaves)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (to taste)
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth (to taste)
1/3 cup canned tomato, diced (undrained)
2 2 cups rice or 2 cups pasta, cooked, to serve over, seasoned however you prefer

1
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
2
Add the olive oil and garlic and cook about 1 minute.
3
Very lightly season chicken with a bit of salt and a hearty grinding of pepper.
4
Add the chicken to the pan and cook about 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear (time will vary based on thickness of your chicken pieces).
5
Remove the chicken, jkeep warm, and set aside.
6
To the same pan, add the spinach and cook just until barely wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
7
Remove from the pan and set aside.
8
Lower the heat to medium and add the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth to the pan and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits.
9
Add the tomatoes, raise heat and cook until reduced to your liking, about 3 to 5 minutes, seasoning to taste with pepper and salt if desired.
10
To serve, set out your seasoned couscous, orzo or rice on a platter, then sprinkle the spinach over the top, then place chicken on top of the spinach and drizzle with the balsamic tomatoes.
11
There isn't a ton of sauce, so if you like things very saucy, you may wish to make extra sauce (I was happy with the amount as listed though).
