Greek Chicken with Sauted baby spinach sprinkled with feta cheese image

This was served at my daughters wedding rehersal dinner. Several tries to get it the way I thought it should taste. It is now my 4 year olds favorite. She likes to pick out the capers and olives. Serve with favorite brown rice.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The spinach and feta cheese are hidden in the chicken and they don't even notice they're eating them.
