Not bad!

But I added some of my own touches. First I took out the chicken before adding the spinach. (There was just way to much spinach before it cooks down). After the spinach was wilted and done, I removed it from the pan and turned the heat to high and added 1 tbs. of Flour to make a creamy sauce. It turned out fantastic and my kids scarfed it all up! I will make this one again for sure! * I also used Fat-Free Chicken Broth, Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper.

Pretty good

The spinach in this dish is sooo good, but the chicken was a little dry and flavorless.

Spinach & Chicken Skillet

healthy dinner entree; Chicken lacks flavor & needs to be cooked longer than stated on recipe. Overall, it was okay.

Pretty good and filling. I love spinach so this was a recipe I knew I would like. I agree that the cooking time was longer than on the recipe. If it said med-low, I cooked on med, and if it said med, I went to med-high. It took quite a while to evaporate the liquid. Good way to get veggies in, but I'm not sure it would be too kid friendly.

Not bad at all. I made this with baby spinach and just cut it up. But you MUST like spinach a lot to enjoy this.

Meal was fabulous! Only thing to watch is the timing!! The chicken needed way longer than stated, as well as the spinach. My father is still raving about the spinach. Overall easy recipe to make.
