Chicken with Lemon and Spinach

This is a simple low-carb recipe that is ready quickly. You can try it out on a weekday or when you have little time to cook and still want to eat healthy. The spinach in the recipe contains many antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, including selenium, zinc, manganese, vitamin C and E. Also, eating spinach removes toxins more quickly. This improves your immune system. Also, this meal is a good source of protein, which gives you a feeling of satiety for a long time and less appetite for snacking.
