Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
- 4 packed cups baby spinach
- 1 avocado peeled, seeded, and diced
- ½ cup flour (I used whole wheat)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl mix together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Dust chicken tenders in seasoned flour.
- Heat a large skillet with the canola oil over medium high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove the chicken to a plate, set aside.
- Add the spinach to the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to break up any browned bits. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the chicken wilts.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet, pour in the chicken broth, and simmer for a few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Add the avocado and lemon juice, gently stir in the sour cream, turning the chicken a few times. Serve hot.
