Ingredients

4 oz POM juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 boneless skinless chicken breast About a pound
About 2 cups cooked brown rice I used one of the 90 second bags)
2-3 cups of baby spinach

Instructions

Whisk the POM juice, honey, vinegar, tarragon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
4 oz POM juice, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper
Pierce the chicken a few times with a fork and submerge the chicken. Marinate for at at least a half an hour.
3 boneless skinless chicken breast
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and spray with a non-stick cooking spray.
Place the chicken in the hot pan. It will smoke and sizzle. LEAVE it alone! You are going to sear it for 2 minutes. Do not touch it for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes flip. The honey will burn a little making this GLORIOUS crusty skin. Cook for another minute.
Remove from heat and cut the chicken into pieces. It will still be pink in the middle. That's ok, we are still going to cook it. We just wanted to get all that yummy flavor.
Return to the heat and add the marinade to deglaze the pan. Bring it to a boil. If your pan is as hot as mine was it will boil immediately.
Add the cooked rice.
About 2 cups cooked brown rice I used one of the 90 second bags)
Stir in the rice and have it absorb all the flavor.
Add the baby spinach.
2-3 cups of baby spinach
Stir in the spinach until it just starts to wilt. Shut off the heat and serve!
