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.
