Asiago and Spinach-Crusted Chicken

Rich and Delicious. The potatoes are especially good!

Ingredients

  • 2 Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts

  • 1 Shallot

  • 1/2 oz Baby Spinach

  • 3 Thyme Sprigs

  • 11 oz Red Potatoes

  • 2 oz Garlic & Herb Cheese Spread (Boursin)

  • 1 oz Asiago Cheese

  • 2 tsp Garlic Pepper

Directions

  • Cut potatoes into 1/2” slices. Place potatoes and 1/4 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave uncovered until beginning to soften, 2-4 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave.

  • While potatoes heat, stem thyme.

  • Peel and thinly slice shallot.

  • Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add softened potatoes and shallots to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender and golden-brown, 4-6 minutes.

  • Stir in garlic pepper, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Remove from burner. Transfer potatoes to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  • Return pan used to cook potatoes to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add spinach to hot pan and stir often until wilted, 30-60 seconds.

  • Stir in cheese spread and half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for potatoes) until melted and combined. Remove from burner.

  • Place a medium oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned on one side, 2-3 minutes.

  • Flip chicken and evenly add topping. Cook until browned on second side, 2-3 minutes.

  • Remove from burner. Transfer pan to hot broiler and broil until topping has lightly browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  • Plate dish as pictured, garnishing potatoes with remaining shredded cheese.
