Garlic Mushroom Wine Sauced Chicken and Spinach S
By: mama's kitchen
Jan 30, 2008
Wow! Healthy, light AND yummy? How often does that happen! Nicely seasoned chicken over a bed of wilted spinach in garlicky mushroom wine sauce. MMMM! The tomatoes break down quite a bit and flavor the sauce with just the right amount of goodness. Makes a terrific lunch or light meal that can be made even more substantial, if desired, by serving over pasta but filling and yummy as is. We love this with garlic bread or other warm crusty bread which defeats the 'light' purpose but mmmmm bread! Note: Pine nuts can be toasted to release oils and flavor. Toss in dry, hot skillet and and toast for about 1 minute, shaking occasionally or heat in a microwave at 30 second intervals, stir, repeat just until nuts are warm and fragrant. Be careful to stop at that point so they don't overcook, get too hot and burn.

In same hot pan over medium heat (use more spray or oil if needed) saute mushrooms, shallot, garlic and tomatoes until soft and tomatoes break down. Add fresh spinach and a pinch of salt and cook until it just starts to wilt. It will cook more in the next step.4

Place spinach mixture on a plate adding warm chicken on top. Sprinkle with asiago cheese and pine nuts. Serve and enjoy!

This is a tasty recipe. I used butter and olive oil to prepare the dish and lightly seasoned the chicken with the lemon pepper. I did the reduction for the sauce with 1/4 cup of wine and increased the lemon juice to 1 Tablespoon, I did not need any water. Added the spinach after the reduction because I only cook my fresh spinach until it wilts. Nice combination of flavors and good luck in the contest, I think you have a winning recipe.

I took this and made some changes for personal preferences. I marinated the chicken in a olive oil/red wine vinegar/oregano/dijon marinade for 30 minutes then grilled it. I waited to add the spinach at the last minute so it was still fairly fresh. Lastly, I topped it with feta and stirred it in the sauce then put everything over whole wheat orzo. There were no leftovers from 3 of us. Thanks for the idea.
