Make

  1. Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and then chicken to heated oil. Saute for ~4 minutes.
  2. Next add in zucchini with garlic and cook until zucchini is tender but still crunchy, 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. While zucchini is cooking, heat up leftover pureed sweet potato soup in a smaller saucepan or in the microwave (your microwave may have a soup reheat setting that you’ve never used before, so check).
  4. Toss in spinach. Turn off heat and let the heat of the chicken and vegetables wilt the spinach. Finish with lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Use the leftover soup as the ‘sauce’ for your chicken saute. Enjoy!
