Place in 350 degree oven and cook for 20 minutes.  I covered mine for the last half so as not to dry the mixture out.

Enjoy!!

  3. This recipe was seriously amazing! I’m not big on mushrooms, but I’m so glad I gave it a try anyway. It made a mushroom-lover out of me 🙂 The creaminess of the spinach/mushroom mix was perfect and tasted great on top of the chicken. Browning the chicken in a pan and then baking it made for some amazingly juicy and delicious chicken. I love this recipe!
