Classic Lemon Chicken With Sauteed Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten each chicken breast half to about 1/4" thickness by pounding them between sheets of waxed paper.
• Melt butter and garlic in 10" skillet until sizzling; add chicken, salt and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat, turning chicken occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Place chicken on serving platter; keep warm.
• Add lemon juice to drippings in pan.
• Add green onions and mushrooms.
• Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
• Garnish with lemon slices and parsley.

Steps:

• Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Coat a large sauté pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
• Combine the bouillon and cornstarch in a small bowl and slowly stir in the water until smooth. (If you put all the water in at once, the cornstarch will get lumpy.) Pour the mixture into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. Add the lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce just begins to boil.
• Meanwhile, place about 1/2 inch of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until hot. (Alternatively, if you have a microwave, place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes, or until hot. Carefully remove the plastic wrap.) Press with the back of a spoon and drain off the water.
• Divide the spinach between four plates, arrange the chicken over the spinach, and top with the sauce. Serve immediately.
• I couldn't believe that this dish clocked in at an incredibly low 175 calories per serving. If you don't think it will be filling enough for you, add a cup of cooked rice and it's still only 335 calories. Or double the amount of chicken and it's only 290 calories. I've always loved this dish, but now I like it even better!

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and discard.
• Raise heat to high. Add spinach to skillet gradually, waiting for one batch to wilt before adding the next. Cook, tossing, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain liquid from skillet; add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Add butter and 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. When butter melts, add chicken in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown in places but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, and thyme to skillet; cook until fragrant, 10 seconds. Stir in broth and cream cheese; cook until mixture boils and cheese melts. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in artichokes; cook 1 minute more. Return chicken and accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer, shaking pan occasionally, until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly and chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and cheese. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if they are 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
• Combine ground allspice, coriander or cumin, and cinnamon in a small bowl or ramekin and set aside.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
• Season pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you won't use all of it).
• Turn oven on low. Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add the oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding the pan. Cook for for 1 1/2 minutes until bottom is browned in spots. Turn over and brown on other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. If there is more than a tablespoon of fat in the pan, pour some (but not all) of it off into a jar or bowl.
• Turn burner heat down to medium. Add ground spices to the pan and when they begin to sizzle add spinach and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and deglazing the bottom of the pan with the liquid that comes off the spinach, until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a platter or to plates and serve with the chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
• Liberally season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before transferring to the hot skillet.
• Sear the chicken 2-3 minutes per side, just until it develops a golden-brown color.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Allow the pan to cool slightly before heating the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
• Toss in the garlic and sautée until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Pour in the chicken broth, yogurt, lemon juice, and oregano and stir until the mixture is smooth.
• Let the mixture reduce for a few minutes until it has thickened.
• Pour in the spinach and sprinkle over another pinch of salt. Let the greens wilt down, stirring occasionally.
• Place the chicken breasts back into the pan and transfer the pan to the oven.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
• Serve chicken on a bed of the wilted spinach and top with a drizzle of the creamy sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oil in skillet. Cook spinach and onion over medium heat until just wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour.
• Melt butter in skillet. Add chicken. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side, just until golden brown. Remove chicken to heated dish.
• Add broth, wine, lemon juice and garlic. Deglaze pan and cook sauce about 2 minutes, until reduced by half. Add spinach.
• Plate chicken over starch of choice (rice, potatoes or pasta). Pour spinach and sauce over all to serve.
• May be served "family style" by placing all on a single large platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Rub chicken with salt inside and out. Squeeze lemon juice from lemon halves over outside of chicken, then rub paprika over all. Place squeeze lemon halves inside chicken cavity, then place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour a little water over chicken to prevent drying.
• Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 3 hours, basting with water as needed.
