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

My whole family enjoyed this recipe and it was much easier to make than I anticipated. I will be making this again for dinner tonight!

This recipe was great. I had no problem finding the rotisserie spice. I used a flat grill pan on top of the stove to cook the chicken (the kind with the ribs down it). Still had a great flavor and gives the chicken the nice marks of grilling outdoors.

Used George Foreman grill(indoor grill). Also used Mrs. Dash garlic herb seasoning. This is easy--use seasonings you like best and cooking method you prefer--grill, bake saute. Loved the pecans with the mushrooms, onions and spinach.

My pet peeve is recipes that call for an odd-ball spice such as

Roisterer chicken spice- I will check out Macormicks bottle to see what's in it, then I will make up my mind as whether to make it or not.

Rotisserie seasoning can be purchased in the spices. It is made my McCormick. Katrina Wagner

Glad to hear it can be cooked in a skillet. My son and I will enjoy every bit. Have company coming and they will love it also

This sounds like a tasty recipe, especially since it can be done in a pan instead of a grill. Would omitting the mushrooms ruin it? My husband won't touch mushrooms!

I am just spraying a skillet with nonstick spray and cooking the chicken in it until done, then adding the mushrooms, etc. until done.
