Greek Chicken and Spinach

Recipe #60105 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This was a quick "throw together" meal one night recently, and it worked out great. Sorry, no exact proportions on a lot of things. It's very much an "eyeball" recipe. Use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Pound the chicken breasts with a mallet til they're flattened and uniform thickness.
  2. 2
    Marinate for about 1/2 hour in a mixture of oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, the zest from 2 lemons and the juice from one, and a little rice vinegar.
  3. 3
    Grill 2-3 minutes on each side till cooked through.
  4. 4
    While marinating, mince a couple of cloves of garlic.
  5. 5
    Saute until fragrant in a little olive oil.
  6. 6
    Add a bag of fresh spinach and wilt over med-high heat.
  7. 7
    When bright green and not quite finished, add a handful of chopped parsely, some dill (to taste, I don't like much dill), and the juice of half a lemon.
  8. 8
    Stir together.
  9. 9
    Remove from heat, crumble some feta cheese on top and and cover for a few minutes to let the cheese heat up and soften.
  10. 10
    Serve with sparkling water and some fresh crusty bread.

    This was delish! However very lemony, if you don't like lemon, you may want to cut down on the zest in the marinade. I used four cloves of garlic for the spinach, and it was very good, but in need of some salt and pepper. All the flavors blended together very well. I definitely recommend eating the chicken the way it's pictured, with the spinach on top. I look forward to making this again. Oh and one last thing, it was very easy to put together, always a plus!

    This is such a great recipe. It took no time at all to make, but it was very rewarding because it was so good. I used lots of seasoning, so it was very flavourful. We had this with Greek rice, and it was a perfect dinner. I'll definetely make this again. Thanks!
