Balsamic Glazed Chicken over Spinach
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons of fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
1 bag of spinach
1/3 cup water
1. Mix thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pat both sides of chicken breasts with the spice mixture. Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook for 2-3 minutes (or until browned). Turn chicken and cook the other side until browned. Transfer to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
2. Add water, vinegar, and honey to the skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes or until slightly syrupy and reduced by half. Add the butter and stir until melted. Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes in the glaze. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
3. If you'd like to serve the chicken over spinach, heat 1/3 cup of water in a large skillet. Add a bag of spinach (Aldi sells it! :)) and cover. Let it cook until it's wilted. Add salt and pepper.
4. Serve chicken over spinach. Drizzle with glaze.
Ok, I might have doused mine instead of drizzling, but you get the idea!
