This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less feta cheese next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The chicken was tender and juicy, the spinach was wilted and flavorful, and the feta cheese added a nice salty tang. I will definitely be making this dish again.
