If you're looking for a healthy dinner your entire family will enjoy, try this grilled chicken with wilted garlic spinach. Marinating chicken breasts in balsamic dressing adds robust flavor and helps to tenderize the chicken. Once grilled, it's tender and juicy. The sauteed garlic has a hint of garlic. A sprinkle of shredded Monterey Jack cheese slightly melts over the warm spinach. It makes the dish feel slightly indulgent. Easy to prepare, it's a wonderful summertime dinner.
