Granny, this was wonderful. Loved how well the sauteed spinach and feta went with the chicken. I followed the recipe as written, and wouldn't change a thing. I baked these in the toaster oven for 20 minutes as instructed. Perfect! :) Honoured to make this as a "Thank You" for voting for Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in the 2010 Kraft Hockeyville Competition.

Gday! VERY simple, easy to make, TRUE!<br/>I used frozen spinach thawed, drained too!<br/>When was half way through cooking, I THOUGHT it might come out a bit dry,<br/>Honestly, I don't know why,<br/>So whipped up a white wine, garlic butter sauce and pouered it over the chicken for last 10 minutes, TRUE!<br/>But think is more personal preference but as written the recipe is VERY healthy AND easy to do!<br/>THANKS!
