Southwestern Chicken with Spinach and Mashed Potatoes

COMMENTS:
I'm not sure where I found this recipe but it does note that it could be made with pork or beef as well.

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup grape tomatoes
16 cups spinach leaves
2 pounds potatoes peeled, quartered
2/3 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoon scallions thinly sliced
2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

DIRECTIONS:
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 min. Drain and return pan to dry over medium heat. Off heat, mash to desired consistency, then add the buttermilk, scallions, butter, and salt. Keep warm over very low heat.
Combine brown sugar salt and spices for chicken. Coat on both sides with rub. Heat 1 T. oil in a skillet, add chicken and cook until done, about 5 min per side. Remove and keep warm.
Heat 1 T. oil in a skillet, add tomatoes and saute 1 min. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine sour cream, lime juice and salt.
To assemble, place potatoes on plate, top with sour cream, put spinach and tomatoes on potatoes and top with chicken. 


SPECIAL NOTE:
If I have labeled a recipe as GlutenFree or Dairy Free but it appears to have those ingredients in it... that means the recipe is still delicious with substitutes/replacements. Ex: soy milk, lactose-free cheese, Bragg's liquid aminos (for soy sauce), all-purpose gluten free flour (Better Batter is my favorite), etc. Please check your individual ingredients to be sure they are GF or DF, if that is what you need.
