Tips for the Best Lemon Spinach Chicken

  • Use Fresh Lemon: Fresh lemon juice and zest add so much flavor to the sauce.

  • Adjust the Sauce: If you want more sauce, feel free to add more chicken broth or lemon juice. This recipe is super adaptable!

  • Add More Veggies: If you’re craving more veggies, throw in some mushrooms, bell peppers, or even asparagus. They’ll soak up the lemon sauce beautifully.

  • Chicken: You can use chicken tenderloins or chicken thighs as well. You would cook everything exactly the same but for chicken thighs cook with the skin side down first so you can have that crispy crust.

  • Green vegetable: Feel free to swap out the spinach with another green veggie like broccoli!
