Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you can, use fresh spinach for the best results.
Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking to the pan.
Season to Taste: Be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be most tender and juicy, and the sauce will be flavorful and creamy.
