Footnotes

How to Pull the Cooked Chicken: Use 2 forks to pull the skinned and boned cooked chicken into shreds. If using a rotisserie chicken, you should get about 4 cups pulled chicken from each chicken. Refrigerate any unused shredded chicken for another use.
Substitute: Prepare using pulled cooked pork.
Special Extra: For more flavour, add 1/2 tsp. lemon zest to the cooked spinach with the remaining Cooking Creme, chicken and shredded cheese.

We liked this sandwich but because spinach by its nature is so bland, I sauteed sliced garlic in the oil before I wilted the spinach in it and I used a couple of slices of provolone cheese instead of the cream cheese. Also, don't be afraid to salt the spinach because it needs it.

Quick meal idea! Used regular brick cream cheese, about 3/4. Added 2x the spinach because it cooks down. Buttered the bread and toasted in frying pan. Delicious! Great leftovers though the mixture does solidfy, making it harder to spread. Will add more salt to taste next time.
