1 1/2 Tbsp | whole grain pastry flour |
1/2 tsp | salt |
1/4 tsp | freshly ground black pepper |
2 large | boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (6–8 oz each), cut in half, or 4 chicken cutlets (3–4 oz each) |
2 Tbsp | canola oil |
1 large | onion, cut into wedges |
2 medium | pears, halved, cored, and sliced |
1 bag (6 oz) | baby spinach |
1/2 c | apple cider |
apple juice, alternative | |
1 1/2 tsp | fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried |
1/2 c | crumbled reduced-fat blue cheese |
Directions
1. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the mixture and set aside.
2. Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the pears and cook for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the spinach and cook for 1 minute, or until wilted. Place mixture on a serving plate.
3. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp oil in the same skillet. Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, or until browned. Add the cider and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced by half.
4. Place the chicken on the spinach mixture, drizzle with the cider mixture, and sprinkle with the cheese.
Recipe tip: Because most chicken breasts are so large, you can cut them in half to get a nice-size cutlet. If you prefer, you can simply purchase cutlets for this recipe.
