Expert Tips

Not only do we have Columbus to thank for exploring the New World, but we can thank him for nutmeg as well! He was searching for this fragrant spice as he set out from Spain to find the East Indies.

Dress up this tasty entrée with a side of pasta, rice or boiled new potatoes. Steamed matchstick-cut carrots also look—and taste—great with this nutritious chicken dish.

This is awesome! The only thing I did different was seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Also dredged lightly in flour so there was no soupy issues. My husband and I loved it.

Great recipe. A few additions: added flour to thicken the sauce, added red peppers to the spinach mixture and squeezed fresh lemon on the whole dish once cooked. Delicious!
