Added some additional cheese in the mixture as well and added additional Greek seasoning on top. Easy, quick and inexpensive. I divided into two baking dishes and froze one for another night.

Quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious. My family absolutely loved it! There was plenty to go around. I added a little salt and pepper, otherwise it was perfect!

I really liked this recipe. It was quick and easy to make. I'm a vegetarian so I cut out the chicken and I hate olives so I left those out also. I added more cheese too :) I think next time I may try it with some beans in place of the chicken. I liked the texture of the onion and pepper in the casserole too.

Didn't like the spinach in the recipe or the cheese on top.

I made this recipe for my family tonight and we didn't like it. It just seemed blah. It just wasn't a hit. We like all the ingredients, but it was missing something. Seemed so bland.

I was really excited about the ingredients ,but I just didn't care for this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly, except using roasted red peppers instead of the green. It was too much stuff all thrown together and tasted like it. We ate it for dinner but most of the leftovers got thrown away. I wouldn't make this again and I think this recipe wastes some pretty expensive ingredients. Just not for us, thanks anyway!

I added more cheese because all of the guys in the house love cheese but otherwise very tasty and disappeared quickly. Also, I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs to add more moisture.

This recipe is delicious and very easy to make. The portion size is pretty big, so it's very filling. I used more green pepper because 2 Tbsp seemed like a rather small amount. The feta cheese gives it a nice zippy flavor, and I love the olives. You can't go wrong with this one!

I made this recipe with about half of the spinach since my kids won't go near the stuff, and they loved it! It makes a lot, next time I might make a half batch. Very good!
