SPINACH AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE

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

It is quick to make this chicken casserole and a great meal. Try this Spinach and Chicken casserole with dry cooked pasta or rice and buttermilk. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve only recently been on a good spinach kick. There’s something about that veggie, and we can’t get enough for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, spinach hits the spot. Tell your loved ones about this recipe and let them feel the magic of this dish.
