Makes about 3-4 servings
6-8 chicken tenders
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 large bag Spinach leaves
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
1 box chicken flavored rice (we used Goya chicken flavored rice)
Lemon/Lemon Juice (optional)
What to do:
Cook rice according to package directions.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil medium-high heat. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned, flip chicken and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add BBQ sauce to cover chicken and reduce heat to low. Cook for 8-10 minutes until chicken is done.
In another large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until hot. Add spinach leaves. Toss to coat.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and let the spinach leaves wilt for 2 minutes.
Remove lid and toss. If you want the leaves to be more wilted, let the spinach cook longer.
To plate:
Place wilted spinach leaves on the plate. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice onto the spinach. Add a layer of rice. Top with 2 BBQ chicken tenders.
