Lemon Chicken with Sauteed Spinach
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried chicken bouillon
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 pound frozen spinach
- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper.
- Coat a large saute pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
- Combine the bouillon and cornstarch in a small bowl and slowly stir in the water until smooth.
- (If you put all the water in at once, the cornstarch will get lumpy.)
- Pour the mixture into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Add the lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce just begins to boil.
- Meanwhile, place about 1/2 inch of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until hot.
- (Alternatively, if you have a microwave, place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes, or until hot.
- Carefully remove the plastic wrap.)
- Press with the back of a spoon and drain off the water.
- Divide the spinach between four plates, arrange the chicken over the spinach, and top with the sauce.
- Serve immediately.
- I couldnt believe that this dish clocked in at an incredibly low 175 calories per serving.
- If you dont think it will be filling enough for you, add a cup of cooked rice and its still only 335 calories.
- Or double the amount of chicken and its only 290 calories.
- Ive always loved this dish, but now I like it even better!
