Verdict:

I think this dinner is a work in progress. It was really good, but I was expecting more from it and I think with a little tweaking it could be amazing! As for now it had a little less flavor than I thought it would, but still a really good meal as is. I was super hesitant with the lemon juice (about 2 or 3 drops per chicken) because of the last disasterous lemon meal, so maybe next time I could add a bit more. Also the directions about the spinach turning bright green.. bright green to me is bright green.. and my spinach never turned close to that color! So I'm not sure if I ended up overcooking it or not.. I couldn't taste it at all so maybe that's a yes? I don't want this to sound discouraging though, it really wasn't bad tasting.. I just wasn't sure exactly how to make it and think next time I could do a better job.
