If you want to turn this into a main dish, you can shred some leftover cooked chicken and add it to the dish before you put it in the oven. But, as a side dish this is a very flavorful and colorful rice dish. The lemon juice and fresh dill help brighten the spinach flavor. It's an unusually creamy and tasty rice dish that's surprisingly filling and yummy. Enjoy!
