This was a quick throw together meal one night recently, and it worked out great. Sorry, no exact proportions on a lot of things. It's very much an eyeball recipe. Use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like. Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast |
2 lemons |
1 teaspoon oregano |
2 cloves garlic |
red pepper flakes |
salt and pepper |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
2 cloves garlic |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 bags 6 oz each fresh spinach leaves |
fresh parsley |
dill, dried or fresh |
1/2 cup feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Pound the chicken breasts with a mallet til they're flattened and uniform thickness.
2. Marinate for about 1/2 hour in a mixture of oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, the zest from 2 lemons and the juice from one, and a little rice vinegar.
3. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side till cooked through.
4. While marinating, mince a couple of cloves of garlic.
5. Saute until fragrant in a little olive oil.
6. Add a bag of fresh spinach and wilt over med-high heat.
7. When bright green and not quite finished, add a handful of chopped parsely, some dill (to taste, I don't like much dill), and the juice of half a lemon.
8. Stir together.
9. Remove from heat, crumble some feta cheese on top and and cover for a few minutes to let the cheese heat up and soften.
10. Serve with sparkling water and some fresh crusty bread.
