Spinach cheese chicken bake
I am making this today. Sounds pretty good. I am adding chicken breast pre cooked strips from Costco for more protein and not bacon like the other person suggests. I wonder what a portion size is to her. I have decided to pour this big mix into a large measuring pitcher I have and see how many cups it is. My servings will be in cups so the numbers may differ from hers and I will add 16 oz. chicken breast,
Anyway thought I would share with you guys. Have a good day!
SPINACH CHEESE BAKE
This is a beautiful way to eat your veggies! Moist, full of flavor and good for you carbs – it’s a great side dish or a vegetarian meal on it’s own.
I’ve added cooked, chopped turkey bacon to this before also, and any variety of cheese I happen to have on hand. For a brunch, lunch, or light dinner it’s perfect served with a fresh fruit salad and whole wheat English muffins for the family.
