Garlic chicken with creamy sauce & spinach image

My kids eat this pretty well, and I had a friend over for dinner who just loved it! It's definitely a favorite meal for when I have company! The time is a rough estimate, I am a slow cook in a nearly microscopic kitchen with limited resources, so everything takes me longer. ;)

This is my go-to chicken recipe. It's always a hit with my family and friends. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. The spinach adds a nice touch of color and flavor. I usually serve this dish over rice or pa
