Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a marinade.

2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking and place them in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

5. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned.

6. Stir in the fish sauce, cooking wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.

8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat it with the lemon butter sauce and spinach-mushroom mixture.

9. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

10. Serve the lemon butter chicken with spinach and mushrooms hot, garnished with additional lemon zest if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- You can add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce for a creamier consistency.

- Serve the dish over cooked pasta or rice for a more substantial meal.

- Feel free to customize the vegetables by adding bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus.
