Lime-Garlic Chicken and Spinach Salad

Chicken is marinated with lime and garlic, then cooked and served over baby spinach leaves for a really quick, hearty salad. This is a quick dish that's great for summer. I came up with it on a Thursday after school when Mom asked me to get dinner ready before she got home. Nice and light.
