This chicken dish was so easy to put together. The hardest part of the recipe is remembering to get the frozen spinach out to thaw. Which is something I can never remember to do in time to have it thawed in time to make dinner.
I really wish my girls liked sun dried tomatoes. I think they are delicious and have such good flavor. Combine that flavor with all the other ingredients on the chicken and you have a flavorful chicken dish.
