Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes in juice, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon jarred capers, drained
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen leaf spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Directions

  1. In a bowl, stir together tomatoes, parsley, 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, and capers. Season tomato relish with salt and pepper.
  2. Working with one piece at a time, lay chicken flat; holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface, split in half horizontally. Cover with plastic wrap; lightly pound each cutlet with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook cutlets, in batches, until browned and opaque throughout, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with foil.
  4. To skillet, add spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Top chicken with tomato relish, and serve with spinach.

Helpful Tips:  To save money on thinly cut cutlets, cover them in clear wrap and pound them.  You can use a can as a mallet if you do not have one. 

You can add Brown Rice or Potatoes or any carb to this plate, here we used Brown Rice.
