Ingredients
- 8 slices chicken breast
- 10.5 oz spinach, cooked, boiled
- 1 clove garlic
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 7 oz mozzarella (lactose-free with lactose below 0.01% or plant-based)
- 10 peeled cherry tomatoes
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 cup flour (or gluten-free rice flour)
- 1/2 glass dry white wine
Tools
- 2 Frying Pans
- 1 Knife
- 1 Bowl
Steps
In a frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the peeled garlic clove. Heat and as soon as it sizzles, add the spinach. Adjust with salt and pepper and let it flavor for 10 minutes on low heat. Meanwhile, salt the chicken breast slices and coat them in flour. In another pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil, and once hot, add the floured chicken breast slices. Brown well on both sides. Meanwhile, wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and dice them. Season with the remaining oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Once the chicken breast is well browned, deglaze with white wine. As soon as the alcohol evaporates, place the spinach on each chicken breast slice. Cover with sliced mozzarella or other cheese. Close with a lid until the mozzarella melts. Remove the lid, and if the mozzarella has released a lot of liquid, let the sauce dry. Add the cherry tomatoes and serve immediately. If you don’t like raw cherry tomatoes, you can also add them right after the mozzarella and let them cook.
ATTENTION: consult the Italian Celiac Association guide and read the ingredients carefully to ensure they do not contain gluten contamination.
