BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Clean and lean and perfect for keeping those New Years resolutions.


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/4-inch thick

Your Favorite Chef Jamie Spice Rub, for seasoning

        (5 different blends available at Smart & Final)

2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin olive oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

juice of an orange

2 tablespoons capers

Baby Spinach, set out on a serving platter


Season the chicken breasts with a Chef Jamie Spice Rub.  Allow to marinate.


Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan or skillet.  Add the seasoned

chicken breasts and cook over medium heat until golden.  Turn the

chicken breasts over and sauté until cooked through.  Remove the

chicken from the pan and place on the spinach leaves.  Deglaze the

pan with the balsamic vinegar.  Whisk in the mustard, orange juice

and capers and cook 2 minutes to reduce to a glaze.  Pour the

glaze over the chicken and serve immediately.
