Dinner for Two


On my last night home of spring break, my Mom and I cooked dinner (my Dad and sister, Allie, were in Virginia Beach for a soccer tournament). We made a dish my Mom discovered over Winter Break and we loved! The recipe is really simple, only a few ingredients, a skillet, and a little time but makes a wonderful home-cooked meal! And its simple enough for any college student to make too!

We also made Red Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans!


Braised Chicken With Savory White Beans and Spinach
Ingredients
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast half (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/9 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves or dried basil leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cup Prego® Heart Smart Onion and Garlic Italian Sauce
1 cup white kidney beans (cannellini) , rinsed and drained
1 package (10 ounces) fresh baby spinach
    • Bottom of Form

      Season the chicken with the black pepper and oregano.

      Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until it's well browned on both sides.

      Stir the sauce in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

      Uncover the skillet. Stir in the beans and spinach and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through..
And voilà, a delicious and healthy dish that will make you want more!
