Preparation
Step 1
1.) heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with the salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
2.) Add the remaining 2 tbsp oil to pan, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the spinach to a bowl and set it aside.
3.) Add the vinegar, broth, and tomatoes to the pan and stir, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
4.) Divide the couscous between 4 serving plates. Top with some of the spinach, then a piece of chicken and the balsamic-tomato sauce and serve.
