Balsamic Chicken with Couscous (7 P+)

Here's another gem from Ellie Krieger. This one takes almost no prep time and can literally be on the table in 15 minutes. It's easy on the budget and the calorie count as well which - in my opinion - makes it a definite winner.

Here's what you need:
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
8 ounces baby spinach (about 8 cups lightly packed)
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 (14 oz) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups cooked couscous


Here's what you do:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot add the oil and the chicken. Cook until browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to the plate.

Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer the spinach to a bowl.

Add the vinegar, broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil and stir, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.

Fluff the couscous. Layer four serving plates with couscous, spinach, chicken, and sauce. Serve immediately.
