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).

1-2 hrs
ingredients
1 cup uncooked rice
1 package (8 ounce size) sliced baby portabella mushrooms
2 leeks, washed and sliced
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounce size)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half and half
1 tablespoon freeze-dried chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
directions
Spray 9- x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the rice over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the mushrooms, leeks, and chicken over the rice and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl or Ziploc bag combine the rest of the ingredients except the cheese. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle with cheese and cover with foil.
For dinner tonight: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 45 minutes, uncover and bake an additional 5-6 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken breasts reaches 165 degrees F.
Or, to freeze, cover the dish with foil. Label, date, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking as directed above.

nutrition data
Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
