Greek Chicken with Sauted baby spinach sprinkled with feta cheese image

This was served at my daughters wedding rehersal dinner. Several tries to get it the way I thought it should taste. It is now my 4 year olds favorite. She likes to pick out the capers and olives. Serve with favorite brown rice.
