Grilled Chicken Breast Over Peppered Succotash

IMAGE Courtesy of www.Mealtime.org

ReciMeals are designed to be complete meals that need only be accompanied by a beverage, and sometimes a side salad or slice of bread. A ReciMeal provides significant amounts of at least three of the five MyPyramid food groups: about 1/2 cup of fruits, 1/2 cup of vegetables, 1 ounce equivalent of grain foods, 2 ounces or the equivalent of lean meat or beans or 1 cup or the equivalent of milk per recipe serving.

Easy grilled chicken served over a colorful medley of vegetables and topped with a spark of citrus flavor - this meal is as pretty on the plate as it is good for you. Tip: the canned succotash makes the perfect base for adding all kinds of vegetables.

Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breast halves
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1 garlic clove, diced
1 can (15 ounces) succotash, drained*
1 can (8 3/4 ounces) sliced carrots, drained
2 cups fresh baby spinach, cut in strips
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
Black pepper, to taste
1 can (15 ounces) citrus fruit, drained

Preparation Time: Approximately 20 minutes

Cooking Time: Approximately 25 minutes

Preparation:
Brush chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season with pepper to taste. Grill chicken on medium-high heat, to an internal temperate of 170°F.

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper and garlic; cook and stir for 5 minutes, until onion is translucent and peppers are softened. Add succotash, carrots, spinach and parsley. Cook just until spinach is wilted.

Season with pepper, to taste.

To serve, portion the succotash-carrot mixture onto four plates. Serve grilled chicken over a bed of vegetables. Top with citrus fruit.
