“Roasted garlic lends a rich flavor to this appetizing entree, and it complements the spinach nicely. Ideal for entertaining, the recipe can be assembled in advance and popped in the oven when guests arrive.”—Joanna Johnson, Flower Mound, Texas

Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

We have reviewed this recipe and can see where some people were confused on the baking temperature for the chicken. We should have repeated it, but the chicken is baked at 425, the same temperature as the garlic earlier in the recipe. We will add the temp to the recipe here soon.Taste of Home Test Kitchen

This recipe was very good, but it is not "quick and easy" so I will have to make it on a day I am off work. I was also very rattled to find out half way through the prep that there was not a baking temperature listed! I called my mom (thank goodness for mothers!) and got a confirmation on my thoughts of using 350 degrees. I was not yet an online member, so I had not seen the comments about the temperature being missed!
