Chicken Florentine Casserole
Creamy and comforting, this chicken and spinach bake is sure to be a hit at dinnertime. The toasty bread crumb topping delivers a bit of a crunch. —Dori Jackson, Gulf Breeze, Florida

Reviews
Delicious casserole! Minimal prep work, very easy.
Family, especially kids, loved this. I omitted bread crumbs. Also only used 1.5 cups Swiss and added 1 cup mozzarella to give it a smoother taste. Added 1 small onion diced, increased garlic pwdr. to 1 1/2 tsp., used 1 1/2 tsp of fresh thyme. I also substituted cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom.
deanna (the soup Nazi) says no soup for you.
Too much sodium
This was Very Tasty, it was enjoyed greatly! I didn't have spinach so used frozen broccoli thawed instead and added an extra quarter cup of mayo. It worked perfect, very creamy and great flavour! I will definitely be making often!
Made this tonight. Excellent! My husband, son
I have made this three times now, twice for friends. It was a hit every single time and both sets of friends asked for the recipe. This is a keeper.
There were 5 of us at the table tonight and the one who had seconds said, "It's not bad but I'm hungry so maybe I'm not a good judge." My husband, who is a human garbage disposal, did not have seconds and he is known to go back 2 or 3 times. I followed the recipe as written. I think if I were to make it again (which I most likely will not), I would alter the cheese to an Italian blend. Perhaps add cream to the mushroom soup to make the dish creamier. I think even with those changes, it would take a 3rd round of making it to tweak the seasoning.
ok snoberhauf , what a silly remark "Adding canned soup to miscellaneous ingredients is not cooking". I made it and it tastes great!
