Chicken Lasagna Florentine

Submitted by Munchkin Mama

"I have to admit that I usually do not like to cook with "cream of" soups, but my family likes this so much that I make an exception. I would be interested in knowing if your little kiddies like it because my younger brother and sister (who never like to try anything new and under normal circumstances hate spinach) love it."

I was impressed this cooked in the crockpot, a cool idea. Something about this recipe didn't work for us though, the texture was a little mushy, and it was a little too creamy for our tastes. Tastes a bit like tuna noodle casserole but with chicken maybe. I think the recipe itself works, it just didn't suit our tastes. My 3 year old didn't care for it, but that could be just because there was something green in it!
