Chicken thighs with spinach and leek in tomato sauce

Juicy fitness chicken thighs with spinach and leek in tomato sauce with feta cheese taste amazingly and can be served with brown rice, couscous, wholemeal pasta, or buckwheat. A great tip for a fit lunch or a filling dinner with chicken. A low-carb meal full of vegetables and flavors, that is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Meals can be healthy and tasty at the same time, come and see for yourself thanks to this simple recipe.

Spinach is one of the most nutritious foods in the world, containing many nutrients including fiber, calcium, and iron. I like to change it up and consume it raw but also cooked. It is perfect in this recipe and together with the remaining ingredients, it fits perfectly not only nutritionally, but also flavor-wise.

This fitness recipe with chicken will delight everyone with its beautiful colors and scents. You can serve it basically with any side dish, according to your preferences. Prepare these chicken thighs for lunch in tomato sauce - you will have them ready in less than 30 minutes and the whole family will enjoy them. So, bon appetit!
