Made this for PAC. Great dish! I did it all on the stovetop as I was in a hurry. Cooked the chicken in a large skillet and just did the rest in that pan. The kids didn't even complain about eat spinach. Great comfort food. Thanks for posting!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Sandra Bins. I am from Georgetown, TX. I have 2 sons, ages 5 and 11. I have been married for 4 years but we have been together for 15 years. Most of my cooking I have picked up from my mother and grandmother. They did not cook new things just the same ones over and over. When I got my own place and started to experiment, I learned that I can really make things turn out quite well. I love cookbooks, I don't really have a favorite one, more like a favorite 10. I like to take a recipe and find the variations in other cookbooks and mix things up. My husband, who is from Austin, Texas, likes things spicy and a little wild. But I tend to keep things a little mild. My sons like the fact that there is always something new on the table. We eat as a family every night no matter what. If there is something that my kids don't like, there is always hot pockets....lol. I love to cook mostly on the stove top. I am not a baker, but on occasion I can cook a mean casserole. I try not to depend on casseroles, they are loaded with fat and tend to really heat the house up. For fun my family likes to hike and bike. I am a stay at home mom/assistant cub master. I like what I do but as soon as my youngest starts school I am going back to work.
