Ingredients

1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 pinch Salt to taste
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small lemon, cut into 8 slices
1/4 (8 ounce) jar chopped, drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 (8 4/5 ounce) pouch UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Roasted Chicken Flavored Rice
1/3 cup unsalted chicken stock
1 (6 ounce) package fresh baby spinach
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Directions

1 Combine 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, adding salt if desired. Sprinkle evenly over top of chicken.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan, seasoned-side down. Cover and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken over, and top each breast with 2 lemon slices. Cover and cook 6 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees F. Place chicken on a plate; cover loosely to keep warm.
3 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes and garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add rice, chicken stock, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper to skillet. Gradually add spinach, stirring gently until spinach wilts. Nestle chicken breasts back in skillet. Sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts.
