Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To ensure even cooking of the chicken, slice the breasts into thin cutlets or pound them to an even thickness before searing.

Tip 2 of 2

If you have leftover spinach, you can easily store it in an airtight container with a paper towel for up to 3 days, though this recipe is best enjoyed fresh.
