Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded between 2 sheets of waxed paper to 1/2-inch thickness (about 1 1/4 lb)
1/4 tsp salt , plus more to taste
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper , plus more to taste
3 garlic cloves, chopped (about 1 tbsp)
8 oz baby spinach (about 8 cups tightly packed)
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup canned no-salt added chopped tomato , with their juices
2 cups hot cooked whole wheat couscous (from about 3/4 cup uncooked )

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
Season the chicken on both sides with the salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan; add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the spinach to a bowl and set it aside.
Add the vinegar, broth, and tomatoes to the pan and stir, scraping any browned bits off the bottom.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes.
Divide the couscous between 4 serving plates.
Top with some of the spinach, then a piece of chicken and the balsamic-tomato sauce and serve.
