One day, at the dinner table, my husband turned to me to say: “I could eat chicken every day.” What he really meant was that any recipe with chicken is a good recipe in his book. After hearing this, I was determined to impress and spoil him with my favorite dishes with chicken as the main ingredient. Since I do more elaborate cooking on the weekends, during the week I try to stick with fast, wholesome recipes whenever possible. My hubby especially loves chicken breasts, French bread, spinach and tomatoes. So I came up with a way to bring together these four nourishing ingredients, creating this grilled chicken and spinach baguette.” A riquísimo sandwich, just looking at it makes my mouth water. The best part? It only took 20 minutes to put together! Our schedules are packed and our daily to-do lists, long. This easy recipe uses a few simple ingredients so that you can whip up a light and nutritious lunch, snack or dinner in a matter of minutes. Enjoy!

    When working with raw poultry, whenever possible use gloves and thoroughly disinfect all surfaces where chicken was prepared.
