Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic crushed, divided
• 1/4 cup Red Onions peeled and sliced or chopped
• 1 cup Mushrooms sliced
• 1/4 cup White Wine
• One 25-ounce jar Marinara Sauce or 3 cups homemade Marinara Sauce of choice
• 1/4 cup Kalamata Olives
• 1/8 teaspoon Chili Flakes
• Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
• 1 cup fresh Baby Spinach
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

• Place chicken in a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl add olive oil, 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper and 1 clove of garlic, crushed. Pour over chicken.
• Cover bowl and place in refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Remove chicken breasts from marinade.
• Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
• Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill each side for approximately 6 - 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness without overcooking. (For attractive grill marks, rotate the chicken 90 degrees halfway through cooking on each side.)
• Remove chicken from grill and keep warm.
• Pour 1 tablespoon oil into a medium skillet. Place over medium heat.
• When oil is hot and shimmering, add 3 cloves of crushed garlic, prepared red onions and mushrooms. Sauté until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes
• Once brown, deglaze the pan with white wine.
• Once wine has reduced, add marinara sauce. Bring to a simmer.
• Add kalamata olives and chili flakes.
• Taste. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cook until thick and bubbly.
• Just before serving, add baby spinach leaves at the last minute. Toss to coat and wilt spinach. Remove from heat.
• Place 1 warmed chicken breast on each serving plate.
• Spoon hot sauce over chicken.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
