Chicken Spinach Bake Recipe

Directions:

1. The evening before making this dish, allow spinach to thaw and drain in the fridge for 12-24 hours. After it thaws, press remaining water out and assemble the ingredients.
2. In medium saucepan over medium heat combine cream cheese, sour cream, Lipton soup and dip mix, and thawed and drained spinach.
3. Heat just until these ingredients begin to melt together. It doesn't have to be warmed all the way through or blended perfectly.
4. Place boneless chicken breasts on bottom of casserole. Cube the chicken if you'd like but I prefer to leave them whole.
5. Pour cream cheese/spinach/soup mixture over the chicken.
6. Place in a 350° oven on center rack.
7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and turn on broiler.
9. Sprinkle the casserole with grated cheddar and return to broiler just until browned.
10. For best results, remove from oven and let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
