      How could you change this recipe up if using fresh spinach?

        Linda, if using fresh spinach, cook it on the stovetop with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until wilted. Or wilt it in the microwave oven in batches. Then add it to the dip.

      I love this recipe! It's flavorful and easy to make! The first time I fixed it, I felt it was a little on the dry side but still delicious. The 2nd time, after prepping the dish for the oven, I poured some heavy cream over the top and it made a wonderful creamy sauce! Thanks for this wonderful dish!

        Kelly, I am so flattered by your comment - glad you've enjoyed this dish more than once! Love the addition of heavy cream sauce to soak up the flavors from the chicken and the toppings - sounds delicious! 🙂

      Excellent flavour. The dip was great with crackers ( I only made 3 chicken breasts so I had some leftover).

      Do you use the boneless breasts?

        Yes, those are skinless, boneless chicken breasts.

        Hello Julia, Can I use seasoned, canned tomatoes instead of roasted ones? I like them. Would you strain or cook them in the tomatoes juices?

          Hi Kat! You can try using canned tomatoes instead of sun-dried tomatoes. I would drain them really well. The end result will probably be more watery than if you used sun-dried tomatoes, but it will still be delicious!

      We are a older couple of 2 and appetites aren’t what they used to be. Can I freeze? If so before cooking or after?

        You can freeze this. I would freeze this after cooking. Freeze the cooked chicken in an air-tight container.
