Serving

1 tsp vegetable oil, divided
1 1/4 cups finely chopped onion, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese
1 tsp dijon mustard
4 (4-oz) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 tsp dried thyme

2 tbsp dijon mustard

Directions:

Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup onion; sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Add spinach, and sauté 3 minutes. Combine spinach mixture, cheese and 1 teaspoon mustard in a small bowl. Stir well; set aside. Wipe pan dry with a paper towel.
