Hello gorgeous! I’m mean really…don’t you feel healthier and skinnier just looking at this dinner? Doesn’t it make you want to run out and put on a bikini? This meal was just so simple, so delicious and so colorful. This should be something you serve at least once a week this summer…trust me, this recipe is a keeper.
Shopping List
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 (16 oz) bottle Poppy Seed salad dressing
4 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 lemons, sliced
Chopped red onion, sliced strawberries, and parsley to garnish (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
On a foil lined baking sheet (for easy clean up), lay out your chicken breasts. Pour salad dressing over the tops of each one (about 1/2 a cup on each one). Bake about 25 minutes (or until the juices run clear when pricked with a fork).
Meanwhile, place about a cup of spinach on each plate. Remove your chicken from the oven and place each piece of chicken on top of your spinach. Squeeze fresh lemon juice down over the top. Garnish with chopped red onions, sliced strawberries and a little parsley.
Done.
This chicken was so flavorful! The lemon juice is all you need to dress your spinach. I squeezed about 2 slices over each piece of chicken. The strawberries just compliment things perfectly. And if you really want to mix and match, you could grill this chicken too. Or you could use Italian dressing instead. Or French dressing. Or Ranch dressing. Just mix and match until your heart’s content.
Happy dinner!

Thank you for this food art! We are having friends over for dinner tomorrow night and I've been inspired to try and recreate this myself. I think I'll have my husband grill the chicken and maybe some fish but I'm totally going to use the lemons, strawberries, spinach and onion and make them think it was all my idea. Would matching my outfit with the dinner be taking it a step too far? I think not.

I made this tonight and was amazed at how delicious it was! My picky eater husband absolutely loved it! I made a few very minor adjustments- cooked at 400, added toasted almond slivers, and used some boneless skinless thighs- as my husband prefers dark meat. This is a serious keeper! Thanks!!

I made this last night and added jasmine rice along side. I squeezed fresh lemon on the rice and spinach, and also dipped some of the poppy seed dressing on top of the rice. My husband was still talking about the meal this morning. He was so happy to have leftovers for lunch today! This was awesome. Thank you Shay!

Definitely going to make this! Do you have a favorite brand of poppy seed dressing. I have tried some in the past that were not too great.
