Chicken with Spinach & Pears

Last week, I posted a recipe for Turkey Steaks with Spinach & Pears.  Tonight, I tried it but added my own little twist.  It was absolutely amazing and will definitely be made again...soon :)

Chicken with Spinach, Pears & Goat Cheese


3 or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp. dried sage, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. butter
1 9-oz. pkg. fresh baby spinach
1 large pear, cored and thinly sliced
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese


1. Rub chicken breasts with sage; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In extra-large skillet cook chicken in 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat 14 to 16 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once. (Reduce heat to medium if chicken browns too quickly.) Remove from skillet. Add spinach to skillet. Cook and stir until just wilted.

2. Meanwhile, in small skillet cook pear slices in remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.

3. To serve, make a nest of spinach on the plate, place chicken breast in the center, top with pears & goat cheese. Serves 4.
