For someone who loves veggies, this casserole is the perfect combination of chicken and vegetables! Bonus that it is a meal all in one- and it makes enough to plan for lunch or dinner the following day. I love the spinach and how the dish is filling and filled-with-flavor! We serve this with a simple salad. I hope you enjoy!
