Chef Grace Part 2

Matt went out tonight and I didn't want to get delivery AGAIN, especially since we had all these fresh ingredients tempting me in the fridge and all these new, shiny appliances were just begging to be used.
So, I forged ahead and cooked dinner by myself! (I hope Matt doesn't get mad that I deflowered his kitchen without him.) Since this was a "Grace" dinner, it's pretty simple, but doesn't make it any less tasty!
Grilled Chicken with Sauteed Spinach
Chicken Ingredients: Boneless Chicken Breast, Salt, Pepper, Olive Oil, Garlic, Shallots
Spinach Ingredients: Spinach, Salt, Garlic, Lemon Juice

Directions: Wash spinach leaves and run through a salad spinner to get rid of excess moisture. Set aside. 
Finely chop one shallot and one large garlic clove and set aside. Season the chicken by rubbing olive oil and seasoning both sides liberally with salt and pepper. 

Place a skillet on medium-heat and pour about a tablespoon of olive oil to warm. Add about 1/2 of the garlic and all of the shallots into the pan and stir it a few times so it doesn't burn. 
Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook 6-7 minutes on each side.

While the chicken is cooking, place a sauté pan on medium-heat. Put the remaining garlic and washed spinach into the pan. Add a salt and add the juice from half a small lemon (about 1-2 tablespoons). With a pair of tongs, continually toss the spinach until cooked down.
