Great dish. Leave out the tomatoes and use brown rice, and it works as a meal for the Clean toxic cleanse program as well.

I got this recipe from my Ellie Krieger cookbook and wanted to post because it is so awesome but you beat me to it! The flavors of the chicken/tomato combo and the garlicky spinach goes so well together, you would never know it is so low in fat and calories. Thanks for posting!

This is a good and simple recipe, I liked although I felt it needed more balsamic,salt, and garlic for more flavor. I will probably be trying this again with some tweaking. Thanks for posting a healthy recipe.

Hubby and I loved this! I served it just topped with the tomatoes and spinach, not over any pasta or rice. I made some grilled asparagus as a side dish. It looked great and tasted even better! The vinegar adds a nice flavor without overpowering the dish. It was very easy to make. I will definitely make this again!

This recipe was so easy to make and ended up being really tasty. It made enough to serve my husband and I and our 4 and 2 year old. Thanks for sharing it, we will be making it again.
