Heat the oil up in an oven-proof skillet*. Cook the chicken pieces until completely cooked through.

Add the spinach leaves and stir until wilted. Stir in half the cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the pasta. Place skillet in the oven and broil on high 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt. Serve immediately. Serves 6. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container.

Notes

*If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, cover the pan with the lid and let it sit for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
