Cheese & Vegetable Topped Chicken

This recipe is an altered and lighter version of the Chicken Tomato Pasta Recipe.  The Cheese & Vegetable Topped Chicken recipe is a lower carb version, but is still tasty and healthy.  It is basically baked boneless skinless chicken breast topped with spinach, bok choy, mushrooms, and cheese.  If you are trying to cut out dairy you can eliminate the cheese and it is still a great main dish.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts cooked, seasoned, and drained
• 1 cup Fresh Spinach
• 1 cup Fresh Bok Choy
• 1/2 cup Fresh Mushrooms
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic
• Sliced or Shredded Cheese

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a broiler pan and put the chicken breast on it (this allows the extra fat and/or juices to drain down and away from the chickens).  Sprinkle lightly with seasoning – salt, pepper, and/or chicken seasoning.  Bake until cooked through.
• While the chicken is cooking.  Slice up the vegetables into about 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces (spinach, bok choy, mushrooms).  Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic in a pan over medium heat.  Add the mushrooms and cook them for about 2 minutes.  Add the spinach and bok choy, cooking for an additional 3 minutes or until the leaves are starting to wilt.
• Place your baked chicken breasts on the plates.  Top with the vegetable mixture.  Optional: Garnish tomatoes and sliced or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
