"Snagged from an advertisement in Southern Living and adapted for our tastes. Wilted spinach in a lemony "gravy" to spoon over chicken and the starch of your choice. Wild rice is a nice one to try."

  1. My brother and I loved this, my mother tolerated it, husband wouldn't eat the spinach, 4 yr old ate the spinach but looked as if she was going to gag LOL. I still rate it 5 stars because atleast two of us thought it was a winner, but if you are not into lemony/tartish flavors you probably won't like this. My baby spinach held it's color really well, nice bright green. I didn't have dry white wine so I used some Vermouth cooking wine. I didn't use so much garlic, 1tbs and a bit maybe a 1tsp.
     
  2. Great chicken dish. I love vivmom's photo because the spinach is so bright. When you saute spinach it gets a dull look. But totally delicious dinner. I served this with recipe #384908 and a salad. Easy and tasty dinner. Made for ZWT 6.
     
  3. This is truly fabulously delicious. I skipped step 1 entirely. I added 1/2 t. smoked paprika to my flour mixture for step 2. The recipe went together like clockwork for the rest of the steps; I served it over brown basmati rice. Having skipped step 1, that means I used no onion in this. It didn't need it. I'm not sure if I used 2 T. minced garlic, I simply minced 2 medium-sized cloves. Flavor of this dish was perfect and provoked many murmurings of "yum, yum, yum" around the table. Thanks ~ I'll make it again!

40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after! I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat... I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe". <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish3.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/wahm_coder/daffies1-1.jpg" > <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
