Can I Use Chicken Breast Instead of Thighs?
Yes! Chicken breast or chicken tenderloins can be used in place of the chicken thighs. So long as they are cut into bite-size pieces, the cooking time remains the same.

Tips for the Best Skillet Lemon Chicken with Spinach
This recipe is easy to master and takes only 25 minutes from start to finish. Keep these things in mind when you’re making this chicken and spinach dish for the first time:
Add the Spinach in Batches
Serve It Right Away
The lemon and white wine in this recipe are both acidic and can turn the spinach brown if it sits too long. The taste will remain unchanged, but this dish will be most presentable right after it leaves the stove, so plan on serving it right away.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
