Ginger-Apple-Glazed Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1
    recipe Ginger-Apple-Glaze
  • 4
    skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1-14 lb. total)
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2
    medium apples, cored and sliced
  • 1
    medium leek, sliced, or 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 2
    cloves garlic, minced
  • 2
    tablespoons apple juice, apple cider, or chicken broth
  • 1
    10 ounce bag prewashed spinach, stems removed (about 10 cups)
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
Directions

1. Measure 1/4 cup of the Ginger-Apple Glaze. Place chicken on the grill rack directly over medium heat; grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling and brushing often with the 1/4 cup Ginger-Apple Glaze during the last 5 minutes of grilling.

2. Meanwhile, lightly coat an unheated large saucepan or Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add apple, leek, and garlic; cook for 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the Apple Glaze and the apple juice; bring to boiling. Add spinach; toss just until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. To serve, slice each chicken breast crosswise into 6 to 8 pieces. On 4 dinner plates, arrange spinach mixture; top with sliced chicken. Makes 4 servings.
