EatingWell: This 20-minute easy dinner is a snap to prepare
Published in Variety Menu
This easy lemon-garlic chicken recipe calls for cutlets, which cook in less than 10 minutes. If you can’t find them, make your own from chicken breasts.
Place each breast on a cutting board and, with your knife parallel to the board, slice into the skinny side of the chicken breast in a single smooth motion. The side of green beans is cooked right in the same pan as the chicken, so cleanup is a cinch.
Lemon-Garlic Chicken with Green Beans
Serves 4
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 large eggs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
3 cups arugula
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 whole-wheat English muffins, split and toasted
4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Break eggs, one at a time, into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes. Break the yolks with a spatula. Flip the eggs and cook until just done, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach and arugula in batches and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add dill, garlic powder, pepper and salt; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
3. To assemble sandwiches, place the eggs on the bottom halves of the English muffins. Top each with 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon feta (reserve excess spinach mixture for another use). Serve topped with the remaining muffin halves.
