Enjoy this mouth-watering Chicken Caprese with Spinach, a savory Italian inspired dish. Juicy chicken breasts are topped with sauteed fresh spinach and melted mozzarella, all swimming in a hearty tomato sauce.
Place the fresh spinach in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with half the salt and black pepper.
2
Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 3/4 inches thick. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper.
3
Place the all-purpose flour on a plate and dredge the seasoned chicken breasts through it to coat them lightly.
4
Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet.
5
Add the flour-coated chicken breasts to the skillet and brown each side for 5-7 minutes.
6
Once browned, top each chicken breast with the cooked spinach followed by a slice of mozzarella cheese.
7
Pour the marinara sauce around the chicken in the skillet, ensuring not to cover the mozzarella-topped chicken.
8
Cook the dish uncovered on low heat for 15 minutes before serving. The chicken should be cooked through and the cheese melted and slightly golden.
