Garlic doesn’t just keep away the vampires. It also goes incredibly well with pesto! …. And chicken. This HCG, phase 2 approve recipe is hands down one of my favourites. It’s fast, easy and tastes incredible.

What you need:

• 100 grams chicken breast
• 1 cup packed spinach
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of lite soy sauce (or Braggs aminos if you have it) 
• 7 leaves fresh basil, rolled and minced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

In a small saucepan, cook chicken with 1/4 cup chicken broth until liquid is absorbed and chicken is lightly brown. Set chicken aside and deglaze the pan with the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth. Add spinach and fresh basil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat—puree spinach with garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce (or Bragg’s). Add sauce to chicken, simmer 1-2 minutes and serve with your favourite greens.

This is a great summery option that can keep the whole family satisfied… oh and healthy, of course.
