Steps:
- Coat chicken with balsamic, oil, seasoning and rosemary and set aside. In a skillet, add chopped bacon, work in 2 batches if preparing salad for 4. Brown bacon over medium high heat, then transfer the bits to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Using center cut bacon will cut down on the pan drippings that spatter.
- Coarsely chop spinach leaves and add to salad bowl. Top with mushrooms, radishes, scallions. Season salad with salt and pepper.
- Wipe out the bacon pan and return to stove turning heat back to medium low. Add 1 tablespoon oil for your dressing and shallots and reduce heat to medium. Saute shallots for 3 minutes. Remove oil and shallots from heat.
- In a bowl, combine mustard and balsamic vinegar. Stream in 2/3 cup oil slowly while whisking the dressing to emulsify it. Add warm shallots and toss with spinach salad to coat evenly. Add cooked bacon and toss again.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken cutlets, 4 minutes on each side, in a single layer. Slice breasts on an angle on your cutting board once they are all out of the pan. Pile spinach salad on to dinner plate/plates. Top each salad with 2 sliced chicken cutlet pieces. For individual portion follow the above method.

Steps:
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat, and add olive oil. Add diced onion, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add beans, and cook until hot and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and vinegar, stirring frequently until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the thyme, and season with the salt and pepper. Serve.
Tips:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
- Marinating the chicken in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs not only adds flavor but also tenderizes it. - Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor penetration.2. Use a Cast-Iron Skillet:
- A cast-iron skillet is ideal for searing the chicken, as it retains heat well and creates a beautiful crust. - If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.3. Don't Overcrowd the Skillet:
- When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet. - This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken rather than seared chicken.4. Cook the Chicken in Batches:
- If you have a large amount of chicken to cook, cook it in batches. - This will ensure that all of the chicken is cooked evenly.5. Use Quality Ingredients:
- The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. - Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.Conclusion:
This balsamic chicken with white beans and wilted spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal.
- The chicken is succulent and flavorful with a hint of sweetness from the balsamic vinegar and honey. - The white beans add a creamy texture and the wilted spinach provides a pop of color and nutrition. - Serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
