sorry for the lack of recipes as of late

I am pregnant...and sick. Food is not my favorite thing right now. But I promise that as soon as I feel up to editing large pictures of food, I will be back !!

sauteed chicken with spinach and mustard sauce

I turned mine into a salad, it was good.

Serves 4

1 tablespoon vinegar
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (6 to 8 ounces)
Coarse salt
Ground pepper
1 bag baby spinach

Directions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 cup water. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; cover to keep warm.

Make mustard sauce: Add minced garlic to same pan; cook over medium heat, stirring . Stir in mustard and vinegar; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add butter; swirl pan until incorporated. Stir any accumulated chicken juices into sauce.

In a medium bowl, toss spinach with half the mustard sauce. Place chicken on a serving plate; drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve spinach on the side.

In large bowl, whisk together mayo and vinegar. Add cabbage, apples, carrots, and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
