Cleanup is a breeze with this all-in-one supper. To make things even easier, tear the spinach with your hands instead of cutting it. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

My family loved it. I made it even faster using leftover rotisserie chicken. The sauce was too thick- a little milk did the trick!

This meal was amazing! Everyone had seconds, including my 7 year old who hates spinach! I brought some to work and now everyone has the recipe!

This was awesome! My whole family devoured it! Even my super picky three year old. I only used six cups of spinach instead of 10, but I thought it was just right. My husband said it was restaurant quality dinner.

You could probably use half and half in place of the heavy cream. I haven't tried it, just a suggestion.

Is there a substitute for whipping cream to bring down the calories?

Its really good, but I didn't use that much spinach. I just used one 9 oz pkg in stead, fresh, chopped

do you really need 10 cups of chopped fresh spinach, could that be a typo

Used 1c frozen spinach, thawed and 2% milk.

Seasoned chicken with Kickin' Chicken before sauteing.
