Giuliano Hazan's Chicken Breast Fillets With Spinach And Tomato image

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 whole boneless chicken breasts
1 pound fresh spinach or 1 10-ounce package frozen
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups canned peeled plum tomatoes, cut up
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Remove each tendon from the chicken breasts. Cut each breast lengthwise into three fillets and slice those fillets horizontally, to give you six pieces from each breast.
  • If using fresh spinach, wash it thoroughly and cook until tender in a large pot with only the water that clings to it and a generous sprinkling of salt. If using frozen, thaw it and cook until tender with half a cup of water and a pinch of salt.
  • Put the chopped garlic and the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. When the garlic begins to sizzle, add plum tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have reduced so that they are no longer watery and have separated from the oil, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the cooked spinach to the tomatoes and stir for a minute or two. Turn the heat off and put aside for later.
  • Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foam begins to subside, saute the chicken fillets on both sides very briefly. They will be cooked in two minutes at most. After they are cooked, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Reheat the tomato and spinach and add the cooked chicken. Toss the chicken until it is well coated with sauce and turn off the heat. Serve hot, followed by a salad.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time. But overall, it was a good recipe and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I'm not a fan of spinach, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very good, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I made a slight modification to this recipe and it turned out even better. I added a diced bell pepper to the sauce, and it gave it a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
