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 fan of feta cheese, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very flavorful.

I would have liked more sauce. Next time I will double the amount of sauce ingredients.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish was too salty for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the spinach was not overpowering.

This Greek Chicken and Spinach dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spinach and feta cheese added a delicious flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
