Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups spinach
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt to taste
2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
2 (4 ounce) balls of buffalo mozzarella, sliced
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir garlic into hot oil and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes, stirring often. Add spinach and toss with hot oil and garlic; cover and remove from heat. Set spinach mixture aside to wilt spinach.
  • Heat 3 more tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Cook chicken breasts in hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Season with salt. Layer 1/4 of the wilted spinach, tomato slices, and mozzarella slices on top of each breast. Season with ground black pepper and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese has browned and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
