Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ yellow onion finely chopped, about 1 cup, large
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast cut into 3/4-inch pieces, boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 5 cups spinach about 5 ounces, baby, loosely packed
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cups basil fresh leaves
- salt to taste, kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, kosher salt
- brown rice for serving, prepared
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Once hot, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 additional seconds.
- Add the chicken, increase the heat to medium high, and let cook for 3 minutes, browning all sides. Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. Let cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
- Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, letting the heat of the pan wilt it as you go. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and basil. Cook and stir just until the basil is wilted, about 1 additional minute. Taste and season with additional salt or pepper as desired. Serve warm with rice as desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
