My husband is a pastor, so I fix meals for large groups often. This one is a favorite and a nice change from the usual beef enchiladas.

I think this is a terrific idea but when we made it the teaspoon of nutmeg was overpowering and we had to throw the whole thing out! Did we do something wrong???

I used fresh spinach and just tore it up as I added it to the chicken. With the chicken I also added about a 1tb minced garlic. I added about a cup of parm cheese to the soup mix. Then I mixed all the soup mix in with the chicken. What I didn't use as filling I poured ontop of the rolls. Next time I'm adding red pepper and mushrooms.

My family loves these. I make it sometimes once a month. The only thing I do different is up the garlic to 2 tsp and double the sauce. My husband says they taste even better as leftovers!!!
