I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken with tofu. It turned out great! This casserole is a great option for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

This casserole was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the spinach was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the spinach added a nice pop of color and nutrients.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen spinach and it worked just fine. I also added some extra cheese to the top.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The flavors were so well-balanced, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
