I love using feta cheese in this easy recipe, which is simple enough for a weeknight recipe yet elegant enough to serve guests. The amount of spinach is not critical, I get the ready-to-eat packages and use canned broth. The chicken is moist and the feta sauce is like a gravy, just spoon it over the chicken and spinach.
