Popeye's Favorite Muscle Booster Sandwich-Spinach, Chicken image

To say this is an Italian fusion sandwich would be stretching it but to say that it is full of flavor and healthy is true.. Makes a great lunch sandwich with a bowl of soup on the side.for 4 or as a dinner main dish for two perhaps served with onion rings and oven fries. I like to use Herb Focaccia (home made or bought) but in a pinch regular sandwich buns will do. Add whatever condiments you like I have suggested sliced sweet onion, tomato and cheese. If you are just trying to get your family to eat spinach cut it back to 5 oz.

This sandwich was a bit too greasy for my taste. The chicken was also a bit dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this sandwich to be a bit dry. The chicken was not as juicy as I would have liked, and the spinach was a bit wilted. The sauce also didn't have much flavor. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.

This sandwich was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the spinach added a nice touch of flavor. I would recommend using a milder sauce if you're not a fan of spicy food.
