In-a-Pinch Chicken & Spinach
I needed a fast supper while babysitting my grandchild. I used what my daughter-in-law had in the fridge and turned it into what's now one of our favorite chicken and spinach recipes. —Sandra Ellis, Stockbridge, Georgia

This recipe is excellent! Quick
I've been waiting for the chance to try this recipe. I used chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts and a whole jar of salsa (24 oz) that I had on hand as suggested by others. I added the browned chicken into the sauce and let it simmer to take on more flavor of the salsa. Served with a side of No-Yolk noodles. Was excellent in our opinion! Another "husband approved" dinner!
This was better than I thought it was going to be, since it seemed so healthy. Especially since I omitted the butter and just used 2T olive oil. I also used more salsa than called for to just finish off the jar. I thought it was good with extra salsa and next time will serve with rice as some of the other reviews stated. This was excellent for a healthy recipe.
I enjoyed this quick dish and will make it again. I did add a little garlic powder to the chicken as it cooked. It does not have nor need any added salt because the salsa gives the dish a lot of flavor. I served it over rice. Also, the recipe was easy to adapt to one serving.
I have not made this yet but can it be made with out the spinach my husband does not like spinach.
We can buy chicken cutlets at our local grocery so that save some time. I don't use sat but it was pretty tasty.
Very quick indeed. It's good for a quick-serve meal, but not good enough IMHO for company. Definitely try it if you're pressed for time.

Super easy and Super quick! My family loved it! I did add a little minced garlic to the skillet when cooking the chicken. Goes well with brown rice.
Very Quick ! Served with Mexican Rice and got my grandson to eat Spinach ! Husband liked it also. Keeper !
