Chicken With White Beans and Baby Spinach

I found this recipe in Readers Digest in an ad for Promise butter. I tweaked it to fit my DH and my tastes and it came out quite good. It's a great low fat, healthy dish which is really more like soup and is great on a cold winter night. It's also real quick to make after coming home from working all day. Putting it here on Zaar so I can find it again.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• 1  lb chicken breast, boneless, skinless
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1⁄8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, more to taste
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter, no transfat spread like Promise
• 1  medium onion, chopped fine
• 3  garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1⁄2 cups chicken broth, low-fat, low sodium
• 1⁄4 cup dry white wine
• 1 (16 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (10 ounce) bag  Baby Spinach

Directions

1. Cut chicken breasts into strips and season with thyme and black pepper.
2. Melt 1 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium high heat.
3. Add chicken to the butter and brown over medium high heat about 3 - 4 minutes.
4. Move chicken to side and add 1/2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and onion (note I use onion powder only because my DH can't eat real onions - I know how awful to not cook with real onions).
5. Saute 1 minute and then add broth and white wine. I used Pinot Grigio because that's what I had on hand.
6. Bring to a boil and reduce heat - simmer 5 minutes.
7. Stir in beans which have been rinsed and drained and the spinach leaves.
8. Simmer 5 more minutes until chicken cooked through.
