Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 4 cups Baby spinach
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over them. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter into the sauce and add the baby spinach, cooking until it wilts slightly.
Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the sauce and spinach, for a delightful keto-friendly meal.
