I made this with skinless boneless chicken breasts that I cooked up quickly in a saute pan with olive oil and a little garlic powder. I made it once as posted and we loved it. However, my BF asked me to double the spinach the next time, which I did. Good choice if you want to increase the veggies or stretch this dish a bit. Excellent flavor, low-card, and lean-protein: a winning combo in my house.

This was a quick easy recipe. My husband enjoyed it. For some reason the cheese stuck to the chicken, which dried the chicken out a little. Next time I may mix the indredients together before cooking and see what happens. The spinach, mushrooms and onions were fantastic. I think I may make that as a side dish without the chicken. Thanks for sharing.

This chicken casserole was a nice quick supper but we found it a little bland, another time I would add a few spices to kick it up a bit. I had some shredded chicken in the freezer to use up, it worked well enough, also used fresh spinach and canned mushrooms with low fat cheddar. Served it over broccoli rice.

Yum! Very good. I used fresh spinach, and portabello mushrooms. I recommend you do the same.
