Italian Chicken Skillet with Garlicky Spinach & Roast Reds

This hearty but not heavy skillet dinner leans Italian-American: juicy sale-priced Italian chicken, garlicky spinach, burst tomatoes, and crispy roasted potatoes. It hits comfort-food notes while still making good use of early-spring greens and tomatoes on a cool March night.

Ingredients

  • Chef's Counter Italian Style Chicken Breast 12 oz $4.99
  • Signature SELECT/FARMS Baby Mini Red Potatoes 1.5 lb $2.99
  • Signature SELECT/FARMS Spinach 8 oz $1.50
  • Organic red roma tomato 2 tomatoes $1.00
  • Organic yellow onion 1 onion $1.87
  • Signature FARMS Minced Garlic 8 oz $2.99
  • Organic curly parsley 1 bunch $2.49

Instructions

  1. Prep 12 oz Chef's Counter Italian Style Chicken Breast ($4.99). Halve 12 oz Signature SELECT/FARMS Baby Mini Red Potatoes from the 1.5 lb bag ($2.99). Dice 1 Organic Yellow Onion ($1.87), chop 2 Organic Red Roma Tomatoes ($1.00 each), and roughly chop 2 tablespoons Organic Curly Parsley ($2.49). Have ready 4 oz Signature SELECT/FARMS Spinach from the 8 oz bag ($1.50).
  2. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the 12 oz halved baby red potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Roast on a sheet pan for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once, until browned and tender.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 12 oz Chef's Counter Italian Style Chicken Breast ($4.99) and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and rest.
  4. In the same skillet, add the diced 1 yellow onion and cook for 4 minutes until softened. Add 1 tablespoon Signature FARMS Minced Garlic ($2.99) and stir for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the chopped 2 roma tomatoes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften and become saucy. Add the 4 oz spinach and cook 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Slice the rested chicken. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet for 1 minute to coat with the tomato-onion juices.
  7. Serve the Italian chicken over the garlicky spinach-tomato skillet mixture with the crispy roasted red potatoes on the side. Finish with the remaining chopped parsley.

Cook time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: $15-20

Health notes: About 560-680 calories per serving. Good protein, iron and folate from spinach, and vitamin C from tomatoes. For a lighter meal, use a bit less oil and serve extra spinach.

Drink pairing: A fruit-forward Pinot Noir works well with the savory herbs and roasted chicken. If you prefer white, a dry Pinot Grigio keeps the meal lively and cuts through the richness.
