This is tasty and delicious. It was very easy to put together and can be made with ground turkey or chicken, too. Its flavors are mild, but you can bump it up with a ¼ cup of parmesan!
This was super easy to make and a great way to get Spinach on the table! It was super tasty with rice.
Very nice! My kids loved it too. I didn't hear complaining about spinach. I increased the pasta sauce on the bottom to 1 cup (so 1 1/2 cups total). We didn't have mozzarella but the marble cheese we used tasted excellent. I'd probably use marble again next time. I butterflied the chicken so it would cook through easier.
