SPINACH AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE 1

Let me tell you about a special dough that I recently introduced into my life that has somehow managed to become one of our favorite whipped dinners all the time. It’s a combination of delicious shell pasta, tender chicken breasts, sweet caramelized onions and nutritious spinach that melts perfectly into a rich but light parmesan sauce.

It’s quick to make this chicken stew and a great meal. Try this spinach and chicken stew with dry cooked pasta or rice and buttermilk. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s only recently that I’ve been getting a kick out of spinach. There’s something special about this vegetable, and you can never have enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner, spinach is perfect.
