Popeye Would Be Proud

Since I made pizza with spinach last night, I decided to use the rest of my bag of spinach before it got all wilted. I made a delicious spinach and strawberry salad with honey chicken and brown rice. I wasn't sure how the meal was going to go with my guy, considering he's more of a barbecue and corn kind of guy, but he liked it. He said the strawberries with the spinach was the best part, which came as a surprise to me. I guess we'll be eating more spinach from now on.

My Guy's rating*: 3.5

Honey Chicken
2 tbsp. light butter (I use Smart Balance Omega Light. Its just as good as regular butter!)
3 tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
dash of salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt together butter, honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Place each chicken breast on a square of foil. Evenly distribute honey mixture over each chicken breast (make sure ends of foil are up, making a sort of bowl so that the honey mixture doesn't drip all over). Fold foil, place chicken on a cookie sheet. Bake for 35 to 40 min. Lightly drizzle with honey before serving.

Strawberry Salad
1 package of strawberries, quartered
1 2 oz. bag of chopped walnuts
1 bag of fresh spinach
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. honey

Combine strawberries, walnuts, and spinach (if your planning on mixing in the dressing first, put it in a big bowl, otherwise just place servings directly on plate or bowl and drizzle with dressing before serving). Whisk or blend together vinegar, oil, and honey. Drizzle salad with the desired amount of dressing and serve. Simple!
