Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp soy sauce, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Add 4 cups fresh baby spinach to the skillet and toss for 1-2 minutes until just wilted and glossy.
Step 6: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the honey-garlic glaze over the top, and cook for an additional 1 minute to reheat before serving.
