Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb chicken breasts, boneless, skinless sliced in half lengthwise
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 10 oz frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 3 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup roasted red peppers jarred, drained and sliced

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from grill and set aside.
  3. While chicken is grilling, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the thawed and squeezed dry spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Place the grilled chicken on a baking sheet. Divide the spinach mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced roasted red peppers.
  6. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
