logo-5aday_small02

Serves 4. Each serving is equal to one and one-half 5 A Day servings
This is an official 5 A Day recipe (source: Produce for Better Health Foundation).

 

Ingredients

    • 4 cups firmly packed baby spinach leaves, washed with stems removed, OR 1 (10 oz) package frozen, chopped spinach
    • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves, crushed OR 2 tsp fresh thyme
    • 1 Tbsp olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
    • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
    • 1 Tbsp flour
    • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
    • 4 grilled or roasted skinless chicken breasts, shredded or chopped
    • 2 lemons, to yield 2 Tbsp grated lemon peel and 4 lemon wedges for garnish
     

Directions

Place spinach in a large skillet over medium heat. Cover and cook until fresh spinach is wilted or frozen spinach is heated through. Spinach should have a dark, rich green color. Do not overcook, or the spinach will change color. Remove spinach, and drain well.

In the same skillet, heat thyme with oil, garlic, and onion. Sauté until onion is transparent. Stir in flour until it disappears. Add broth and stir continuously until a thickened sauce is formed. Return chopped spinach to sauce and mix well. Heat and adjust seasonings, if desired.

Stir half the chicken into sauce. To serve, spoon equal amounts in four small casseroles. Top each with equal portions of remaining chicken and ½ Tbsp grated lemon peel. Place in preheated 300º F oven for 10 minutes. Serve piping hot with a lemon wedge.
