Thankfully, I salvaged it just in time, and let me tell you, it turned out to be a cheesy, gooey miracle. It was comfort food at its finest, and I couldn’t wait to dig in.
This One-Pan Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Bake is super simple and comes together in no time. You’ll love how it all cooks in one pan, making cleanup a breeze.

How to Make It
