directions

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. When oil ripples, add chicken and cook 3 minutes on each side then remove and let meat rest and cool.
  • To the same skillet, add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and the butter. Melt butter into extra-virgin olive oil and add the shallots, garlic and capers. Sauté 5 minutes then add white wine and reduce 30 seconds.
  • Next, add the juice of 1 lemon and immediately add the spinach - mound up the pan. You will not be able to fit it all in there. Keep turning the spinach and wilting it down until you get it all in there then turn the heat off. Keep some leaves still a bit crisp to vary textures in your salad.
  • Season the spinach with salt and pepper. Chop chicken into little bits and add to the warm salad. Toss to distribute and serve.

  1. Followed the instructions on this only adding some red onion slivers to the spinach (I love garlic and onions). This was an easy and delicious salad and one I will go to again. Thank you for submitting. Made for Fall PAC 2011.

Well my name is Leslie, I was born in Texas and grew up in MEXICO, then when I was a teenager I moved back to Texas. I moved to California when I got married. I just recently got married...(3/5/07). I missed Texas, especially the restaurants, but I am starting to get used to the local restaurants here in the Bay Area! I love cooking, one of my stress release hobbies. I am not much of a baker, for some odd reason. But I love cooking. I'll try to cook as much as I can, and little by little I am trying to be an expert.You know, have that heart knowledge only experience gives you. I love ratings. Anytime I cook something I made everyone tell me their rating (From 1 to 10 being the highest). Thankfully my husband loves eating my cooking, he thinks I am a great chef. I am trying to learn asian cuisine. I am hispanic, my husband is Chinese. He loves hispanic, especially Mexican food though so I am lucky for that, I get to cook all Hispanic dishes so most likely whenever we go out to eat it will be asian cuisine, which by the way I love. I work for a brokerage firm as an office assistant, it was a complete different field, I knew nothing about stocks and such when I started, so I am always learning something new. I have no kids, so its just my husband and I all the time, we like outdoors, such as hiking. I am a Jehovah Witness, I love being one, and truly that defines me. I love traveling (going to Japan next!!) and I love photography, I love taking pictures, scenic that is, not people, unless is my husband (hahaha) Really I am just now learning who I am as a person, I like to called it "my know me phase" (which is been going on for about one year) what I like, what I dislike and trying to improve my lifestyle into a more healthy one. My husband being Asian is a healthy freak, which I think is good. So hopefully that will stick on me more. Oh yeah last but not least I have OCD, having OCD can be difficult at times, not only for the person who has it but also for everyone you interact, but I am trying to be positive about it and control it as much as I can :)
