This recipe is one of my favorites and once again, it is totally easy to make, thus no beginner should be afraid of it. It will please anyone who is trying to lose weight or is working towards a bikini body. By adding the same amount of frozen spinach as meat to this recipe, we reduce the calorie content in the recipe, however the meal will be still quite filling. You can even serve it without any garnish, I'll leave this decision to you. I definitely recommend adding grated mozzarella and corn to the recipe, and I cannot imagine this meal without them. Believe me, everyone who has tried it so far, loved it. And besides the fact that these fit chicken breasts with spinach are rich in protein, they also contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals and the content of fiber is considerable too.
