Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. If desired, add the red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and let them simmer in the spinach mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve the All-in-One Chicken with Wilted Spinach hot, with a side of your choice, such as rice or mashed potatoes.
