Jalapeno Downtown Chicken

Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).

Ingredients:

1 jalapeno pepper, sliced into rings
1 chicken breast, thawed and sliced lengthwise, thin
1 cup spinach
1 tomato, sliced
1 slice provolone cheese
2 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh minced garlice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, or with any other seasonings you may prefer.

In a skillet, sear the chicken breasts, about 2 minutes each side, then reduce heat to low and cook until chicken is done throughout. Use a bit of cooking spray to avoid sticking.

In a separate pan, cook the spinach until soft. Once spinach is done, transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with Worcestershire and minced garlic.

Place spinach mixture atop the chicken breasts. Cover spinach with tomato slices and jalapeno pepper slices. Top with provolone cheese. Cover the pan until cheese is melted.
