Thanks for a great base recipe! I pre-cooked the chicken breasts as recommended. Then I drained the spinach and sauteed in olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes (no mushrooms, hubby's not a fan). For the sauce I used milk instead of half and half, and I increased the milk to a full cup. I used juice of half a lemon instead of 1 Tbl. I also melted 1/2 cup mozz cheese right into the sauce. Everything else for the sauce I went by the recipe. I used leftover rice pilaf (about a cup and a half) as the bottom layer in a 9 x 12 pan, topped with the spinach, then half the sauce, then the cut up chicken breasts, and the rest of the sauce. Baked for 20 minutes at 400, topped with bacon and 1 1/2 c mozz, baked for 20 min more. Delish. Next time I'd nix the bacon, it didn't add much flavor and I didn't love the crunchy texture. Great recipe!
