Step 1
Season the 2 chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (no pink inside). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4
Add the 6 cups baby spinach to the bowl and toss gently with the dressing until lightly coated.
Step 5
Top the spinach with the sliced chicken and 1 cup pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately.
