It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This recipe is a healthier twist on the popular chicken and stuffing casseroles. This one nixes the canned soup and packaged stuffing mix for a lower fat, lower sodium alternative.

ingredients
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
2 1/2 cups defatted chicken broth, divided
6 cups packaged unseasoned stuffing mix (cubes)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in strips
2 tablespoons unbleached flour
1 tablespoon dried parsley
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, combine onion, celery and 1 1/2 cups broth. Simmer, covered, on low until vegetables are soft. Add stuffing and seasonings. Mix well until blended. Spread in an 8" x 8" pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Top with chicken strips.
Meanwhile, in a covered container, combine remaining 1 cup chicken broth with flour and shake well to prevent lumps. Pour into a 4-cup glass measuring cup and cook in the microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring with a wire whisk several times until mixture thickens. Pour over chicken breasts. Sprinkle with parsley.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Very good and I love that the only packaged ingredient is the stuffing mix (and you could just use your own bread cubes for that matter).

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for - a chicken and stuffing recipe without all the fat and sodium from cans of soup. I wanted something homemade and healthy!
