This recipe is always a hit because it’s incredibly tasty and has everything you need, from the lean protein in the chicken to the dark leafy greens. The star of this dish is the sun dried tomatoes, which gives it this beautiful reddish color and incredible flavor.
Also, I love how there is some spinach in this as well because whenever I prepare something for the family, I try to include more vegetables when I can. Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, along with vitamins A and C and of course minerals such as folate, magnesium and iron.
