Directions for Chicken Entree
Pre-heat large sauté pan over medium high heat; roll chicken in brown rice flour mix, shaking off excess flour. Spray pan with enough olive oil to coat bottom and sauté chicken until it is browned; flip and repeat on other side.
Add in garlic and shallots. Sauté until aromas are released, and then add in tomatoes, spinach, basil and capers. Deglaze with apple & lemon juice and place chicken on top of spinach to keep it from drying out. Place in 400 degree convection oven and cook until done, about 5-6 minutes.
Serve chicken on top of spinach mixture; pour remaining ingredients over top.
