Before You Start
Pat the chicken breast dry and measure out the vegetables before the pan is hot, so nothing overcooks while you chop.
How To Make It
Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until it shimmers.
Add the chicken breast and cook 5 minutes per side until golden and a thermometer reads 165°F.
165°F
Move the chicken breast to a plate and tent with foil while you cook the vegetables.
Add the mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until browned and their liquid has cooked off.
Add the spinach and cook 2 minutes until fully wilted and glossy.
Return the chicken breast and any resting juices to the skillet and toss 1 minute until everything is hot.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Fix It: If the vegetables steam and turn watery instead of browning, raise the heat and spread them out; cook 2 more minutes until the moisture is gone.
