Ginger-Apple-Glazed Chicken

Ingredients

1 recipe Ginger-Apple-Glaze

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1-14 lb. total)

Nonstick cooking spray

2 medium apples, cored and sliced

1 medium leek, sliced, or 1/3 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons apple juice, apple cider, or chicken broth

1 10 ounce bag prewashed spinach, stems removed (about 10 cups)

Salt

Ground black pepper

Directions

Measure 1/4 cup of the Ginger-Apple Glaze. Place chicken on the grill rack directly over medium heat; grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling and brushing often with the 1/4 cup Ginger-Apple Glaze during the last 5 minutes of grilling.

Meanwhile, lightly coat an unheated large saucepan or Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add apple, leek, and garlic; cook for 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the Apple Glaze and the apple juice; bring to boiling. Add spinach; toss just until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To serve, slice each chicken breast crosswise into 6 to 8 pieces. On 4 dinner plates, arrange spinach mixture; top with sliced chicken. Makes 4 servings.
