A 10-ounce bag of fresh spinach has only 10 grams of carbohydrate. Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1 (10-ounce) bag fresh spinach |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons dried tomato bits |
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, divided |
cooking spray |
1/3 cup dry white wine |
Directions:
1. Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
2. Trim and chop spinach; place in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add water and next 3 ingredients; bring to a boil. Cook 7 minutes or until spinach wilts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in tomato bits, pine nuts, and 1/4 teaspoon basil.
3. Divide spinach mixture evenly among chicken breast halves, spooning mixture onto center of each half. Roll chicken up lengthwise, tucking ends under; secure chicken with wooden picks.
4. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Add wine and 1/4 teaspoon basil; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, and remove wooden picks. Spoon pan drippings over chicken.
