When I was doing meal planning for this menu, I wanted a Greek inspired side dish to go with the chicken. And once I settled on rice, I decided to add sauteed spinach to it, to make it healthier and tastier.


This Greek Spinach Rice is pretty simple to make. I like dishes with just a few ingredients, and this one is no exception. All you need to make this delicious side dish is onions, rice, spinach, olive oil and water.

To make this rice dish, saute onions in olive oil. Then add rice, and saute for a few more minutes. Add water, bring to boil, and then simmer until the rice is done. While the rice is simmering, saute spinach for a few minutes. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork, add the sauteed spinach, and mix.
