Roasted Spicy Mayo Chicken Breasts and Sauteed Spinach & Onions

Everyone knows how I love Paula Deen and her boys! I have tried many of their recipes and these did not disappoint. I used light mayonnaise to cut back on the fat and it was still very good. I loved the spinach too, so much better than a box of frozen spinach!

Roasted Spicy Mayo Chicken Breasts

1/2 cup mayonnaise (light)
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
2 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp salt, plus additional for seasoning
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest, paprika, celery seeds, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper,and cayenne.

Season the chicken with the additional salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken on the prepared sheet. Slather the mayo mixture over the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the chicken is pricked with a fork.

Sauteed Spinach and Onions

3 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
One 9-oz bag baby spinach
3/4 tsp seasoned salt (or The Lady's House Seasoning)
1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste

Melt the butter in a skillet over med. heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the spinach. Toss to wilt, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and lemon juice and serve.
