CHICKEN POTATO SPINACH CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place chicken cubes evenly into the prepared dish.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and mash. Add sour cream, Cheddar cheese, butter, carrot, Parmesan cheese, onion soup mix, garlic salt, and pepper; mash together until smooth. Spoon over chicken and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 60 to 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13 casserole dish with healthy fat of choice and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, add a steamer basket, broccoli and enough water to steam the broccoli {usually about 1/2 cup to 1 cup water depending on the size of your pan}. Cover with a lid, bring water to a boil and steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully remove the steamer basket with broccoli. Set aside.
• While the broccoli is steaming, add healthy fat of choice to a saucepan and turn the stovetop to medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and carrots, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, add cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, onion-carrot mixture, yogurt, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, onion flakes, dill, sea salt, thyme, garlic powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, and optional cooked rice. Stir until fully combined and evenly distributed. Pour mixture into greased casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the top of the casserole. Bake at 375 degrees F for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesy top is lightly golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
