Spinach Chicken

This recipe comes from Dawn, from the group, "Cooking for your Family" on Babycenter.com

Review: Overall very good. Fairly quick and easy.

Served With: Potato wedges, and corn or green beans

Any Alterations Made to the Recipe: I use a bit less spinach, and sometimes exchange the spinach with other ingredients such as pepporoni or green peppers. The original recipe calls for butter, but I've replaced it with olive oil.

Spinach Chicken
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
garlic, salt and pepper to taste
4 Tablespoons olive oil
8 Ounces mozzerella cheese, shredded

Step 1: Saute chicken breasts in EVOO on medium heat. Season liberally with your favorite spices.
Step 2: When the juices run clear, turn heat down to low. Spread fresh raw spinach on top of each chicken breast and then cover with cheese.
Step 3: Cover pan and simmer on low for a few minutes until the spinach is wilted and cheese is melted.

Lemon Thyme Chicken

This recipe is an adaptation of Emeril Lagasse's Lemon Thyme Grilled Chicken

Review: I found this to be a great stand by meal to cook, a family favorite. The flavors are nice and light and refreshing, and the chicken tends to stay moist.

Served With: I always double the lemon thyme mixture and toss it with thin spaghetti noodles. The chicken is served over the spaghetti and a side salad is our veggie of choice with this meal. A nice loaf of bread doesn't hurt either ;)

Any Alterations to the Recipe: Because this is an altered grilled chicken recipe, the alterations are in the recipe I've listed already.
