Ginger chicken with sesame spinach

This is a super easy recipe from Real Simple magazine. If you have the ingredients on-hand, it's fast! I like it all mixed up with soy sauce on top.

1 cup long grain white rice (prepared according to package directions)
4 6 oz boneless chicken breasts, halves (recipe calls for chicken with skin - but i just stuffed the ginger inside)
2 Tbls grated ginger
Kosher salt and pepper
1 Tbls olive oil
2 Tbls sesame oil
2 tsp sesame seeds
2 bunches spinach (1 pd) trimmed

Pat the chicken dry. Stuff the ginger under the chicken skin or inside. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until done.

Heat the sesame oil and seeds in another large skillet over medium heat until the sees are light gold, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook until wilted.

Divide the rice, spinach and chicken among individual plates and serve!
