Pomegranate Chicken

Makes 2 servings

2 8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil spray
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce

Cut the chicken into thin slices. To make the marinade, mix the pomegranate juice, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and coat well with the marinade. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to marinate.

Heat a nonstick frying pan and coat it with olive oil spray. Put the chicken in the pan and cook over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through. Discard the remaining marinade. Serve the chicken over a bed of romaine lettuce.
