This recipe combines the elements of a spinach salad with chicken for a savory baked dish. I created it from ingredients that I needed to use before they went bad, and was very pleased with the results!

Time 1h43m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ cup honey mustard dressing
¼ cup white wine
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 slices bacon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 small shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup shredded smoked provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, honey mustard dressing, white wine, and black pepper in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag; seal and shake to mix. Let marinate in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in the same skillet over medium heat until butter is melted. Add shallots and garlic; cook until lightly browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach. Cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and place in the prepared baking dish. Discard marinade. Top each chicken breast with 1/3 of the spinach mixture, 1 slice of bacon, and 1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to the chicken.

This dish was a bit too dry for my liking. I would recommend adding some more liquid, such as chicken broth or white wine, to the pan before baking.
