This dish was not to my liking. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less ginger.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The chicken was so moist and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was to die for. I loved the combination of the ginger, lemon, and spinach. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I will definitely be making this dis
