Oscars Sunday is always a fun one…a
little exercise, running errands, cooking a great meal, and glass of wine or
two. This recipe caught me eye on
pinterest earlier this week and thought I would save it for today. I am wishing I had a side of mashed potatoes
to go with it though! That would have made the meal superb. But, don’t get me wrong this is pretty
spectacular on its own. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts
1 tsp paprika
salt & pepper
5 Tbsp butter*
¼ cup fresh thyme leaves
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 cup dry white wine
2 handfuls spinach
Directions:
Season the chicken breasts with the
paprika, rubbing it evenly over both sides. Also season with salt and pepper —
about ¼ tsp each.
Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet
over medium-high heat, and add the chicken breasts. Cook on the first side for
three minutes (or until crisping and golden), flip, and turn the heat down to
medium, or slightly less. Let cook for another three minutes before adding the
remaining butter, thyme and garlic.
Cook, stirring the thyme and garlic
around, for about 2 minutes before adding the wine.
Bring the wine to a gentle simmer and
let cook for 20 minutes. It will reduce, so add more if necessary.
Add the spinach, and let wilt fully.
Season with salt and pepper, make sure the chicken is done, and serve with a
grain of your choice.
