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

We loved this! I actually made it in my crockpot - just put frozed spinach (thawed and drained) on the bottom, then the chicken with the seasoning, and the the veggies and pecans, drizzld a little bit of olive oil over top and topped the chicken with cheese under the broiler for a minute.

YUMMY!!! My Husband and I loved this!!! I had a little trouble finding the Rotisserie Seasoning but with a little help from and employee I found it. McCormick Perfect Pinch is the brand I found. Maybe that will help those of you having difficulties finding the seasoning.

Made this on my lunch hour for my son who was leaving after a long weekend home, so you know it is a Quick Recipe, as was the side I made of Cranberry Couscous. I used Pappy's Seasoning on the chicken. Any seasoning blend with paprika will do. I usually have all these ingredients in my kitchen so it was a great find for me. I only substituted out the provolone for monterey jack. I used my 12" shallow round grill pan on the stove and covered it with a frying pan. No need for the broiler.

Have made this several times and we love it. If you are cooking it for a later time I would recomend that you drain the spinach after cooking it or else when you re-heat it becomes to watery.

Very tasty although I did not use the pecans, but substituted the pecans for slithered almonds

Surprising moist and juicy
