Spinach Chicken Bake
I made this last night, but I strayed a LOT from the recipe for reason such as time, personal tastes, and, well, mainly time. I will make my changes in parenthesis out to the side. It was delish! I loved it. Little Man couldn't wait for it, so he ended up having a grilled cheese. No, I didn't burn the grilled cheese this time for all of you who are wondering.
My suggestion to you is to make sure to have some crackers on hand to dip the spinach/cheese mixture. Delish. I will def be making this again.
2 cups diced boneless skinless chicken breast (I used three large chicken breasts.)
1 10 oz package of frozen spinach
1/2 cup of Fat Free Sour Cream (I used about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup Light Mayo (I used about 1/4 cup)
1/4 Mozzarella low moisture part skim cheese <span style="font-weight:bold;">(I used 3/4 cup)
1 cup Parmesean Cheese (I used less than this. Somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 cup I would say. I would rather have more Mozz cheese than Parmesean)
2 tsp garlic powder
Directions
Season chicken breast the way you would like and cook as you normally would. I usually season mine with some Mrs. Dash and a little garlic powder, then bake it with tin foil over it for 30 minutes, then 10 minutes without tin foil. (I cut mine into chunks and cooked them in a skillet.)
When chicken is done, you can start the cheese mixture. Mix sour cream, parmesean cheese, light mayo, mozzarella, and garlic powder in medium bowl.
Once chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into small pieces (2 cups worth) then pour into medium bowl. Drain 10 oz package of frozen spinach, then add to chicken and mix together.
Once spinach and chicken is mixed well add HALF the cheese mixture. Mix well. Then pour the chicken, spinach mixture into round pan or dish and pack down. Take remaining mixture and spread over the top.
Place in oven for 45 minutes at 350 degree's.
(I mixed the spinach and all other ingredients, except chicken together. Then, I put that in a PAMed 8x8 pan. Put the chicken on top. Sprinkled the chicken with some parm/mozz mixture. Tossed it in the oven for about 15 minutes. )
You can see I strayed from the recipe, but I loved it. Enjoy! Even my husband ate some this morning when he got off work and say it was pretty good. Now *that's* impressive.
