A note about serious food allergies

Cooking chicken on the bone means more flavor than your workaday boneless, skinless version. We make the most of this juicy cut by coating it with an herbaceous spice blend, pan searing, and then finishing the chicken in the oven. A cut this elegant deserves a side with style. A salad of fresh mozzarella, heirloom cherry tomatoes, pesto, and a balsamic reduction is nothing short of gourmet.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Halve cherry tomatoes. Pat chicken breasts dry.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Rub both sides of chicken with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Finish the Chicken

    Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet and roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 18-22 minutes. Remove from oven and rest at least 5 minutes. Wipe pan clean and reserve. While chicken roasts, sauté spinach.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Spinach

    Line a plate with a paper towel. Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and spinach to hot pan. Cook, stirring often, until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Remove spinach to towel-lined plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Balsamic Reduction

    Add balsamic vinegar to pan used to cook spinach and place over medium heat. Cook until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. Remove from burner.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Place a serving of spinach on a plate and rest chicken on top. Arrange cherry tomatoes and mozzarella next to chicken. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and basil pesto.
