What's for dinner - part 2

Yummy recipe that we stole out of Foxy's Men's Health magazine, but which we altered a bit to make it even healthier - all in all it didn't take long to cook and was quite tasty!

Chicken Spinach Parm

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. parmesan cheese (grated)
2 small garlic cloves, crushed
6 handfuls of baby spinach leaves
1/2 c marinara sauce (we used a Ragu Garden sauce - diced tomato and herb)
2 tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, pound the chicken to a 1/4" thickness, then sprinkle with cheese, salt and pepper (they also use bread crumbs which we opted out of - if you want to try it with, you'd need only 2 tbsps of crumbs, which you'd sprinkle and press onto the chicken). Place in the pan with the garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, heat the marinara and put it on top of the chicken in the pan - then add the spinach, turning frequently with tongs until it wilts, about 6 minutes.

I think to tweak it for next time, I'd add some sliced muchrooms and do a side caesar salad. We had it with some sweet green peas and a slice of garlic bread - and it was yummy, and even better? Foxy did the cooking! :-)
