I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken for tofu. The tofu worked really well in this recipe and I loved the combination of flavors.

I added some grilled chicken to this recipe and it was amazing! The chicken added a nice protein boost and made the dish even more flavorful.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The lemon and spinach flavors were a bit too subtle for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try it again with less lemon next time.
