Garlic Mushroom Wine Sauced Chicken and Spinach S image

Wow! Healthy, light AND yummy? How often does that happen! Nicely seasoned chicken over a bed of wilted spinach in garlicky mushroom wine sauce. MMMM! The tomatoes break down quite a bit and flavor the sauce with just the right amount of goodness. Makes a terrific lunch or light meal that can be made even more substantial, if desired, by serving over pasta but filling and yummy as is. We love this with garlic bread or other warm crusty bread which defeats the 'light' purpose but mmmmm bread! Note: Pine nuts can be toasted to release oils and flavor. Toss in dry, hot skillet and and toast for about 1 minute, shaking occasionally or heat in a microwave at 30 second intervals, stir, repeat just until nuts are warm and fragrant. Be careful to stop at that point so they don't overcook, get too hot and burn.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
1 large shallot, diced (about 4 Tbsp)
1 cup tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb spinach, precleaned and tough stems removed
2 tablespoons asiago cheese, fresh grated

salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Season chicken breast with lemon pepper to your taste, reserve any extra to use later if desired.
  • In a skillet over medium heat with some cooking spray or a little olive oil, saute chicken until done. About 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
  • In same hot pan over medium heat (use more spray or oil if needed) saute mushrooms, shallot, garlic and tomatoes until soft and tomatoes break down. Add fresh spinach and a pinch of salt and cook until it just starts to wilt. It will cook more in the next step.
  • Add wine, lemon juice and enough water to equal one cup liquid and cook just until reduced to a thin, glossy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can use any reserved lemon pepper here too.
  • Place spinach mixture on a plate adding warm chicken on top. Sprinkle with asiago cheese and pine nuts. Serve and enjoy!

Good recipe, but I would recommend using a different type of mushroom. I used button mushrooms and they were a bit bland.

Excellent! I served this over mashed potatoes and it was a perfect comfort meal. The chicken was moist and tender, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

It was a little bland for my taste, but I added some extra garlic and pepper and it was much better.

I didn't have any white wine on hand so I used chicken broth instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from the night before and it worked perfectly in this dish.

The sauce was a little runny for my liking, but the chicken was cooked nicely.

I made this dish for a dinner party and it was a hit! Everyone raved about the flavor and how tender the chicken was. Even my picky eater son went back for seconds.

A bit too much garlic for my taste, but otherwise very good.
