Chicken breasts stay nice and moist with a mushroom and spinach topping tucked under a blanket of melted cheese. It's extra special to serve but is not tricky to make. —Katrina Wagner, Grain Valley, Missouri

I have never made this, but I am going to try it but with NO cheese and in my crockpot. I do not have a grill.

This is a very nice recipe. When I made it, I added a chopped garlic clove and a little red crushed pepper. Next time I make I'm going to use pine nuts instead of pecans and substitute fontina cheese. The original recipe was delicious but thse changes simply reflect my personal taste.

I started to cook the chicken for something else and decided to make this. I pan fried the chicken in a non-stick pan sprayed with Pam and added rosemary-garlic seasoning to it and simmered it until almost done. Then I sauteed the fresh mushrooms, green onion, and fresh spinach in the same pan with a little olive oil until the mushrooms and spinach were tender. I added about a tablespoon of real bacon bits and I think that helped since I didn't have the rotisserie chicken seasoning. I have never seen it or heard of that seasoning until now. It was a fluke that I had all the ingredients, even the provolone cheese. I put the chicken back in the pan and covered it with the spinach and mushroom mixture and then the cheese. I put a lid over it and let the cheese melt. OMG it was so good. I live alone so I halved the recipe and one chicken breast was enough but I made enough for 2 meals. I think I need to make it again and invite some cute guy over for dinner! Any wine suggestions?

my husband thought this was a little bland the first night we tried it. When I made it again, I added garlic to the spinach/mushroom saute, and it was a huge hit!

This was a fast, delicious recipe!! I added a half jar of marinara sauce to the spinach and mushroom saute to give it a little bit more substance. Excellent!!
