Indulge in a delightful blend of flavors tonight with this traditional Italian dish, simple yet bursting with taste!

1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breast in this mixture and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

2

While the chicken marinates, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

3

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4

While the chicken is cooking, in a separate pot, heat a little water until it simmers. Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted before draining. Set aside.

5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

6

In the same skillet used for the chicken, you can add the remaining lemon juice and the wilted spinach for flavor infusion if desired. Stir for a minute to combine.

7

Serve the sliced grilled chicken over a bed of sautéed spinach and enjoy a delicious, wholesome meal!
