Chicken, Potato, and Spinach Hash

The best weeknight meals are often the ones you don't overthink. Sure, it can be wonderful to follow a recipe from start to finish, but it can be equally gratifying (not to mention, delicious) to take a quick peek inside your fridge and find inspiration in your own leftovers.

That's why today's recipe for chicken, potato, and spinach hash is such a perfect Tuesday night meal. It combines cooked chicken (our every week roast chicken would work well here) with two ingredients you probably already have in your fridge: fresh spinach (or any greens) and Yukon gold potatoes. This uncomplicated dish can be customized to suit your own tastes (say with a few red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of Parmesan and lemon zest), so adjust the flavors accordingly.
