Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Zesty Garlic Blend. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry until golden, 1-2 min per side, then transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.**
Meanwhile, reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then onions. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min. Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend. Stir until onions are coated, 30 sec. Add 1 cup (2 cups) water, soy sauce, broth concentrate and half the balsamic glaze. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Add remaining balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add spinach and tomatoes, then toss to coat.
When potatoes are fork-tender, roughly mash in cream and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter until slightly mashed. (NOTE: 'Smashed' potatoes will still have a few chunks!) Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
When chicken is done, transfer to a plate to rest. Stir any chicken juices from the baking sheet into sauce. Thinly slice chicken. Divide chicken, potatoes and salad between plates. Spoon sauce over chicken and potatoes.
