"Are you trying to torture us?" asked my husband when he saw what I was scooping up this recipie on top of a plate of rice (we have two fussy eaters, ages 5 and 8 - and maybe a 43 year old, too....). Well... he was the first one up for a second helping and that was before our two children voiced their approval of the meal as well. I added cornstarch, more broth and a blend of sour cream/milk to make it more 'soupy' like a wet curry(I didn't have any cream on hand) and followed the advice for a fresh chopped onion instead of the onion powder. Such an excellent, flavorful taste, especially for such little work. Thank you for posting it. - 04 Aug 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Since the spinach sounded like it may end up tasting a little like creamed spinach, I added an onion while cooking the chicken to make the flavor complete. I left most of the liquids in the pan (and I pre-cooked and drained the spinach), so I recommend reducing cream and/or broth by half or so. Good flavor... an interesting combo. Might be good over rice. Definitely not 4 servings. I suggest adjusting the recipe to use 1 breast per serving needed. - 05 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I tried the recipe as listed and it was bland. The next time I changed it a little - onion and bell pepper sauteed with the chicken, make sure you brown the chicken well, extra pepper flakes and extra garlic and shredded parmesan cheese on top. I served it over rice and my adult family loved it. The kids liked the chicken but picked the spinach out. - 09 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
