When I’m pressed for time during the week, this Chicken and Spinach Sauté Recipe is a lifesaver. It requires minimal prep and cook time, yet tastes incredibly delicious and is quite healthy.
My kids love it too, which is a huge plus. I simply get the chicken into the marinade before I leave to go pick up my kids from school, then come and home and toss it in the skillet for dinner. Easy peasy. The only problem is that it’s so good, there are never any leftovers!
Simple, delicious, and satisfying, this Weight Watchers Chicken Recipe is a must-try.

Delicious. Are used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce . I overcooked my chicken a bit. I marinated an hour. I would do longer, maybe overnight.
