While we love baby spinach for its ease of use, any green can be used in its place.
Chopped jalapeno and canned chipotle chiles add heat to this delicious meal.

Feel free to substitute the peas with other veggies such as broccoli or asparagus.

Chicken cutlets cook up quickly and offer the perfect complement to the quick and creamy sauce.
Serve with a piece of crusty bread and a green salad on the side.
Here, we take advantage of zucchini, which lightens up the dish.
Paired with beans, it makes a filling vegetarian meal.
Feel free to swap in ground turkey for the beef.
