Italian Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Wilted Spinach
"The following recipe appears in the book "30 Ways to Freekeh!" by Bonnie Matthews. The author says you should feel free to double the amount of greens if you wish. And if you have sweet red or yellow peppers on hand, those are great in this recipe too. Simply add them in when you add the onions...."
