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).

ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3 teaspoons garlic powder or to taste
2 1/2 teaspoons salt (divided use)
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
4 tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
Saute chicken in olive oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cut breasts into thirds and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through but not overcooked. Transfer chicken pieces to cutting board and finely chop.
Combine remaining ingredients in medium bowl; mix well. Add chicken; stir until completely blended.
Transfer to greased 8-inch-square ovenproof pan. Bake until mixture is hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
Use crackers or pita chips for dipping.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This dip has been a hit at every party I've made it for; a bridal shower and two Christmas parties. I used to think the buffalo chicken wing dip was good but this is fantastic! Everyone asks for the recipe!
