Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, season generously with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally so the garlic doesn't burn, until the garlic and scallions are softened, about 2 minutes.

Uncover and season with salt and pepper and stir in the salsa. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is completely wilted and the sauce gently simmers, 5 to 7 minutes.
