Loved this! It got my 5 year old to eat spinach!! I did have to double the amount of chicken broth and left out the lemon. I tasted it at the end and felt it needed more salt (added sea salt and added in a smidge of herbed feta which was tangy on its own so I'm glad I left out the lemon. Turned out perfect! Will definitely be making this one again.

After looking at all the reviews before me, I did make some changes. I added white wine, a pinch of salt and pepper, and little water. To make it a more complete meal, I added beef smoked sausage. It came out amazing! My husband loves it and I would definitly make it again. :
By dinner!

I had no trouble with this recipe. Not sure what the others are doing wrong. My company loved it last weekend and all wanted the recipe. Will definitely make this over and over again.
