Introduction
Spinach, chicken and cheese, oh my. Spinach, chicken and cheese, oh my.Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
2 cups diced boneless skinless chicken breast (I usually need 2 or 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts)
1 10 oz package of frozen spinach
1/2 cup of Fat Free Sour Cream
1/2 cup Light Mayo
1/4 Mozzarella low moisture part skim cheese
1 cup Parmesean Cheese (I usually use reduced fat parmesean, but all I had on hand was regular)
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.
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. Makes about 6 one cup servings (though I'm not positive. sorry)
This is a pretty good meal. I'm sure you can rearrange things to your liking :)

This dish is a winner! Since my sour cream was frozen (was in the back of the fridge), I had to use fat free Greek yogurt instead. Also, instead of using 1/2 cup of light mayo, I only used 1/4 cup of mayo and added a 1/4 cup of skim milk. We served with a side of spaghetti. Turned out great! - 5/21/09

This was very good. My husband & I both enjoyed it but the kids, not so much, what do you expect from a 1 & 2 yr old? I added some artichoke hearts & served it over pasta. for myself I steamed broccoli & ate it over that. next time I think I will add some lemon juice to add a little zing. Thanks! - 3/14/09

Very good! I had to use light sour cream as I couldn't find fat free. I also had to use regular Kraft Parmesan cheese because I had that on hand. I served it with a big salad for dinner! I just used boneless skinless chicken breasts, place in water, bring to boil, simmer till done, cool and cut up! - 8/21/20

Delicious!!! My family loved it. I did not squeeze out too much of the liquid from the spinach. I rubbed my chicken breast with olive oil and seasoned with garlic powder, chicken seasoning & black pepper. I baked it for 30 minutes not 45 & the last 4 minutes sprinkled a little more mozzarella on top - 7/25/20

The chicken are extremely dry. It does not take 40 minutes to bring a chicken breast up to 170 F.
I cook it in sautee skillet for about 10 minutes. Since the casserole is baked why cook the chicken breast prior to baking. If you are afraid of salmonella bring the temp up to 170 by baking . - 8/21/19

I doubled the ingredients and used a Pyrex baking dish. This meal is fantastic!!! I also change it up instead of spinach I use frozen corn and green beans, and instead of the Mozzarella and Parmesan, I just use mild cheddar, then I add more cheese to the top when it’s about 15 minutes away from b - 1/4/19

What can I say? Wow. This dish is absolutely DELICIOUS! I was completely surprised how much we liked this-- given that we're Aussies and aren't so keen on using mayonnaise the way you Northern Hemisphere types are. But it actually gave it a very unique & seriously yummy flavour. My fave so far! - 2/8/09

I doubled the recipe & made some modiifactions according 2 what I had on hand. I didn't have any parmessan so I added 3/4 cups of mozerella in the mixture. I saved 1/4 cup to add to the top. Out of mayo so added fat free cream cheese and 1/2 cup cottage cheese & 1/4 cup italian bread crumbs. YUMMY! - 1/12/09

I did use crushed garlic instead of powdered, cottage cheese instead of light mayo and used a four cheese shredded combo (it's what I had) instead of the mozzarella. My husband, my teens, and I really loved it. My 7 year old did take her one bite to try it-maybe next time! This one is in the file! - 10/31/08

This was soo good!I made a few changes as I always tend to do with any recipe.I used feta and reg. sour cream(didn't have light) and miracle whip as I didn't have regular mayo.I also used fresh garlic(3 cloves) and fresh spinach(10 cups, packed) and chicken thighs and added onion, and bell pepper. - 10/29/08

It turned out pretty good. And the leftovers have been really great for lunch. I did add some bread crumbs to the top as one rater recommended, and thought it added to the flavor (probably the sodium as well).
It wasn't the BEST ever receipe, but it's nice and filling and pretty easy to make. - 10/29/08

This was very good. Came out a little bit runny despite being rather dense before cooking, but it tasted great. My husband liked it too, and he can be a tough sell on anything containing veggies. Will make this again, but I may try it with Purdue shortcuts or canned chicken to save on prep time. - 10/28/08
