Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoons - mirin rice wine
- 2 tablespoons - honey
- 2 tablespoons - soy sauce
- - 2-inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoons - water
- 2 - skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves - garlic skin on
- 5 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1/2 cups - Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings
- 8 cups - fresh spinach
- - Salt
- - Aged balsamic vinegar
- - Lemon wedges optional
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small pot over high heat, bring mirin, honey, soy sauce, ginger and water to a boil and simmer 15 seconds. Set marinade aside to cool.
2. Meanwhile, halve chicken breasts. Use a mallet or rolling pin to pound cutlets to about ¼ -inch thick. Add flour to a shallow bowl. Dip cutlets into flour and shake off excess.
3. Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding pan, add chicken and fry until just golden, about 3 minutes. Add 1 garlic clove to pan and flip chicken. Fry reverse side until golden, about 2 minutes more.
4. Transfer chicken to a baking dish and brush generously all over with marinade. Cover with Parmigiano and bake on top rack until cheese melts and browns in spots, about 7 minutes.
5. Wipe out skillet and set over high heat. Add remaining oil and garlic. Once hot, add spinach and sauté until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
6. Serve chicken with sautéed spinach and drizzle everything with aged balsamic. Garnish with lemon wedges, if you like.
