Soy Chicken With Mushrooms & Spinach image

This hearty weekday dinner is based on a recipe featured in the January 2009 issue of "recipes +" magazine. The original recipe called for pork instead of chicken. If you want to make his a little more budget friendly, you could omit the Swiss brown mushrooms, and use 400g button mushrooms instead.
