Greek Chicken and Spinach image

This was a quick "throw together" meal one night recently, and it worked out great. Sorry, no exact proportions on a lot of things. It's very much an "eyeball" recipe. Use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this dish was surprisingly delicious. The chicken was tender and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the spinach was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
