~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The changes I made were:
*I cooked my chicken in my pressure cooker.
*The recipe doesn't state when to add the milk, I added it to the chicken and spinach mixture.
*I added the cheese after it had been in the oven for 30 minutes, I don't care for browned cheese. Enjoy! ~Jan

Posted by: 3kidsmommy: I took this to a family reunion saturday and it was totally awesome! I overheard people talking about it (while we were eating) and raving about how great it was. I could feel my head getting bigger....LOL! I had several people asking about it and they said it was the best dish that they have had in a very long time.

Thanks HDMac_WA for another great recipe!
