I didn't have shallots on hand so I made this with red onion and it was delicious! I used wine and I think that made a big difference in the flavor.

have made this 3 times already!! My whole family loves the flavor, I have served it with a rice side dish, over fettucini and just with salad. It is a great, light, easy recipe

Excellent recipe. I didn't use the sour cream; deglazed the pan with the wine. Even without the dairy, the sauce was delicious. Will be making this one again for sure.

I didn't think I was going to like this recipe, but I was very surprised. The shallots and spinach is delicious! Definitely use the white wine if you can. :)

In regards to dtardif's comment, the item on the plate under the chicken is the shallots and spinach mixture.

We apologize for any confusion.

The picture shows a different presentation. Could somebody tell me what the other object is on the platter?

Great midweek meal. I added a crushed clove of garlic and deglazed the pan with the wine and then added the broth. Served it over egg noodles and enjoyed!

I made this today and we liked it. The sauce was a bit soupy at first, but I just kept simmering it and it did thicken. I would make it again.

This was very simple but delicious. I was impressed and will definately make again. First attempt was a little soupy. I will reduce my initial liquid and add more later if necessary.
