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).

- #12537
Fresh herbs and creamy sauce are the name of the game. Well, and a bacon crust. Chopped fresh herbs give the chicken a bright counterbalance to a luscious layer of sauce.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Yummy, chicken was juicy, loved the bread crumb topping, didn't make the sauce right, but all the flavors were yummy. Will make again.
