Health and fertility benefits of Mediterranean Chicken

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility.

Ingredients

4 5- to 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves
2 ounces crumbled Feta
4 tablespoons black-olive tapenade or paste
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup salsa fresca
1 5-ounce package baby spinach
1 large lemon
4 tablespoons capers packed in liquid (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Cut a 2-inch pocket in the thickest part of each chicken-breast half. In a small bowl, combine the Feta and tapenade, then stuff 1/4 of the mixture into each pocket. In a nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on medium to high heat. Season the chicken with the pepper and add it to the skillet, cooking 2 minutes on each side or until brown. Transfer to an oven-safe baking dish drizzled with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and bake for 18 minutes. When the chicken is 5 minutes from being finished, put the remaining olive oil and the salsa in the skillet and heat through. Add the spinach and cookuntil slightly wilted. Slice the chicken and serve it with asqueeze of lemon juice and the capers, if desired, with the spinach on the side.
