Dijon Chicken w/spinach and Lemon rice

I just made this last night and it was delicious!! I did double the sauce and rice (kept the lemon zest the same, I didnt want it too lemony), since my family has 5 and they like rice. I also cooked my chicken in cubes from the beginning because that is how I store them in the freezer. 


Dijon Chicken with Spinach & Lemon Rice  
Makes: 4 servings  Calories 308   protein 31 g
Ingredients:
2/3 cup brown rice
4 4-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil 
1/3 cup low-fat sour cream
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
2 packed cups spinach, coarsely chopped
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest


Directions:
Cook rice according to package directions; set aside.

Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of chicken breast with sea salt, pepper, and paprika.  In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil on medium-high.  Add chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through.  Remove from skillet and transfer to a large plate.  Cover and set aside.


Reduce heat to medium-low and add sour cream, Dijon, lemon juice, and tarragon.  Stir until heated through, scraping up browned bits from bottom and sides of skillet with a wooden spoon, about 20 seconds.  Uncover chicken and spoon 1 Tbsp sour cream mixture over top, dividing evenly.  Cover and set aside.

Heat remaining sour cream mixture on medium.  Add rice, spinach, lemon zest, 1/4 cup water and remaining 1/4 tsp sea salt.  Stir gently until spinach is wilted, about 20 seconds.

Spoon onto serving plates and top with chicken, dividing evenly.
