Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spritz an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine 10 oz. of cooked, cubed chicken breast or thighs with 10 oz. spinach in a mixing bowl.

    Just made this and it is very good. And to those saying it is not low-carb --- dishes CAN BE both low-carb AND low-fat. This one is both. The South Beach Diet stresses BOTH low-fat AND low-carb and the weight falls off! :) - 3/1/13

    Incredible!
    Love this chicken casserole. Meanwhile on a low card diet did this for whole family. They loved it. Is very tasty. I served to them with rice but I ate it as is coming out of the oven, very filling and savory. Makes 4 plates as a side dish. I would say only 2 servings as a main. If you make this as - 3/30/19
