Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms

Copied from Real Simple's website

Ingredients:
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-kosher salt and black pepper
-1 pound button mushrooms, quartered
-1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
-2 cloves garlic, chopped
-1/2 cup dry white wine
-2 bunches spinach, thick stems removed (about 8 cups)

Directions:
1) Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
2) Return the skillet to medium-high heat and heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Cook the mushrooms and pepper, tossing, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and wine and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the wine is nearly evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the spinach and 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the chicken.
