Orange Balsamic Chicken

Liven up your chicken dish with this simple, one-pot Orange Balsamic Chicken with Spinach dish that's filled with nutrients and is sweet, tangy & delicious.

Chicken needs to be really good for me to crave it, and this Orange Balsamic Chicken fits that category.

Thanks to the help of some orange juice & balsamic vinegar, this chicken has a sweet & tangy taste that balances out quite well when served with savory, spicy sauteed spinach.

Oh and to top it all off, you cook everything in one pot. Gah, those are my favorite types of meals!

One dish to wash, and I'm one happy gal!

This Orange Balsamic Chicken is really good!

It is quite simple to make and only requires 10 ingredients which makes me happy this time of year.

You'll start by sautéing the spinach. Then set aside and cook the chicken. Set that aside and make the sauce. Then serve!

The presentation of this dish is quite lovely if I do say so myself.

I like to serve it with a hot loaf of sliced and buttered bread, but it's up to you what you serve with it.

All I suggest is that you try this simple, tasty, and nourishing recipe.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 8 ounces fresh spinach about 12 cups
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt divided
• ▢ 20 ounces chicken breast
• ▢ 1 tablespoon minced garlic 3 cloves
• ▢ ½ cup orange juice
• ▢ ¼ cup chicken broth
• ▢ 1 ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add fresh spinach, red pepper flakes, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Saute until wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the chicken in one layer. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
• Cook for 5-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until done. Set aside.
• Add minced garlic, and stir for 1 minute.
• Add orange juice, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and dried rosemary. Use a spoon to scrape up any bits of chicken that remain in the skillet.
• Simmer until the sauce reduces by about half (should take about 5-10 minutes), stirring often. Remove from heat.
• Add the chicken back to the skillet (to reheat a little and soak up some sauce).
• Plate the spinach. Top with chicken, and serve with extra sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

*Make sure your chicken breast are thin. Pound them or slice in half if needed.
