Calories: 303kcal
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo
- 1 tablespoon keto-friendly maple syrup or 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 4 ounces cherry tomatoes quartered
Instructions
- Combine the garlic, chipotle, syrup, and lime juice in a small bowl and set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon avocado oil in a large non-stick pan. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until browned, another 5 minutes. Add the reserved bowl of sauce and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate and do not clean the pan.
- Add the tomatoes and spinach to the pan, tossing in any remaining sauce, letting the residual heat barely wilt the spinach.
- Divide the spinach between two plates, top with chicken and serve.
