• Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 160℉. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving, and the temp will rise to 165℉.

• Serve over pasta, rice, or by itself!

• You can substitute boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.
• Continually whisk flour as the sauce thickens.
• Adding lemon juice with the spinach not only enhances the flavor, but it also helps your body absorb the iron in the spinach.
