I came home from work one day, literally grabbed everything we had in the refrigerator, and invented this recipe using techniques learned from Cooking Light. We liked it so much that this is now my Friday night recipe when company comes. -CL Reader Ingredients:
4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |

4 cups fresh spinach |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 tablespoon butter |
