Notes

Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy. Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste. For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes while cooking the chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a skillet over low heat.
