This saucy one-skillet chicken dish is full of tomatoes, spinach, olives and capers. Try Kalamata olives in place of the green Sicilians or a combination of both. Serve over whole-wheat egg noodles with a mixed green salad on the side.

tomatoes

frozen chopped spinach, thawed

Loved it. My daughter developed this recipe for Eating Well and told me that originally she made it with green peas instead of spinach. I have always made it with the spinach and loved it. I made it yesterday and used peas instead of the spinach and found that I preferred the peas. My husband raved about the change. Both ways are delicious but I prefer the taste of the peas to the spinach. Either way this is a yummy recipe.

Quick Easy Weeknight Dinner Very easy to make and good flavor. I served over bow tie pasta. I used fresh spinach as well. I don't like frozen spinach. My almost one year old son liked it too. I will make this again.

Our new favorite recipe This is a quick easy delicious and healthy recipe good enough for company and simple enough for a week night dinner. Serve it over rice to get more flavor from the liquid but is excellent over pasta. Next time I'm adding fresh basil. And instead of soggy frozen spinach I used 2 cups of chopped fresh spinach. Pros: Easy healthy

Definately a keeper. It was quick healthy and affordable. The only change I made to the recipe was to use fresh spinach. Flavor was great. Only downside is that the sauce is a little thin. Also tried the Sicilian Chicken recipe from this site and would recommend this recipe over that one.

This is my new favorite chicken recipe! I used fresh spinach instead of frozen and put the chicken and sauce over whole wheat egg noodles. It was fantastic definitely a keeper.

Made this tonight. Easy and yummy! Got 5 thumbs up from ages 4-42. Definitely a keeper. Used fresh spinach hand torn after pinching off stems.

Easy and Yummy I'm single and I love to cook delicious things BUT I hate slaving over meals since I'm the only person who's going to eat it anyway. This was so simple to make yummy and easy to store. I only had frozen mustard greens on hand but it turned out fine. Also I added a splash of white wine to bring out more flavor. Pros: easy
