Chicken Spinach Saute

This meal was SO simple and quick! It’s Friday night and the thought of preparing a meal was not really on the top of my ‘I really want to do this’ list, but I knew that was not an option! I am SO happy I tried this one out! The photo to the left is what it looked like at the end of cooking – it was so pretty! The colors were so vibrant!Chicken Spinach Saute

This chicken spinach saute was delicious! So full of flavor and really hit the spot! Basili loved it too – and he always scoffs at the idea of eating chicken (this comes from eating a lot of chicken when he was in the army…thanks a lot…) Anyway, about half way through the meal, he nodded his head in great approval and said ‘yup…this one is good, add it to the list!’ I served this over brown rice, but it would also be delicious on its own or over veggies! Let me know what you think!

    • i am excited to hear what you think! This recipe serves 4. ;). (2 pounds of chicken is typically 2 of the chicken breasts and I usually eat half for a serving). :).

  1. So good! I added some balsamic to the veggies and chicken and even threw in some yellow squash too (had some I needed to get rid of) and this was so good! Thanks 🙂
