Recipe Summary "Spinach Salad" Chicken Bake

This recipe combines the elements of a spinach salad with chicken for a savory baked dish. I created it from ingredients that I needed to use before they went bad, and was very pleased with the results!

Ingredients | Green Salad Dressing Recipes

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

½ cup honey mustard dressing

¼ cup white wine

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 slices bacon

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

2 small shallots, chopped

3 cloves garlic, sliced

3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¾ cup shredded smoked provolone cheese

Directions

Combine chicken, honey mustard dressing, white wine, and black pepper in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag; seal and shake to mix. Let marinate in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Heat olive oil and butter in the same skillet over medium heat until butter is melted. Add shallots and garlic; cook until lightly browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach. Cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove chicken from marinade and place in the prepared baking dish. Discard marinade. Top each chicken breast with 1/3 of the spinach mixture, 1 slice of bacon, and 1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes.
