1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon extra spicy Mrs. Dash seasoning

Preheat oven to 425°F degrees.
Baste chicken with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder and grill on high heat (or, if you are cooking indoors, use a broiler or grill pan.

Turn once to cook evenly on both sides. Coat chicken in spinach and bake until spinach is almost crisp. Set aside; cover and keep warm over very low heat.

Roll out pizza crust on a pizza pan sprayed with olive oil spray. Spread sauce, sprinkle on cheeses and seasonings.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Top with grilled chicken and spinach.

Cooks Note: Pizza can be baked on a pizza stone in the gas grill. This is an excellent method of baking during Summer when you don't want to overheat the kitchen. Any bread or pizza dough can be substituted for the All Ready Pizza Crust when you have the time to bake from scratch.

Answer 2

You can use your favorite recipe for pizza dough or purchase some already made.Next cook a bag of frozen spinach in the microwave for 10 minutes.I cook it right in the bag and the plastic never melts or anything.Next,heat some olive oil on the stove and add the spinach with either sliced or minced garlic.You can eat it this way and it`s great,or you can take the pizza dough and roll it into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.Take some spinach and mozzarella cheese and place down the middle leaving enough room to roll it up. you can either roll it like a cinnamon bun recipe or make it into a loaf.Bake it in the oven at 350 till it`s browned.You can brush it with an egg wash if you want a darker brown color.

Answer 4

Wilt it in a little butter and fresh ground nutmeg.

Make Spanakopita http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_29797,00.html

Two changes to the recipe - I use an oil spray instead of butter on the phyllo and mix the feta with some tasty cheese.

It's also nice as a stuffing or a side with Salmon. Wilt the spinach, add sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and basil pesto - heat through. If your using it as a stuffing - make a pocket half way down the salmon fillet and bake for approx 20mins at 350F.

Hope you enjoy trying these and the others recipes.

Answer 5

I am the same way and can't really find recipes I like!! I love spinach artichoke dip, but don't know where to get a good recipe. One thing I like to do is to drain some spinach and mix it with cream cheese, parmasean cheese, and garlic salt, then spread it over some chicken breast and bake until the chicken is cooked. It's easy and yummy!

I love spinach Knishes, This Recipe is a bit of work BUT soo worth it.

Knishes, Potato-Spinach-Cheese

Yield: 1 dozen
4 medium baking potatoes
3 eggs
2 bunches (20 ounces) spinach
2 tsp. baking soda
A dash of salt
3 cups Mozzarella, shredded
3 cups Cheddar, shredded
2 cups feta cheese
1 package puff pastry dough
Egg yolk

Boil potatoes until soft but not soggy. Mash potatoes well. Let cool.

Beat in 3 eggs into the potatoes. Mixture should be smooth. Let rest.

Chop and fast fry spinach until soft. In a large bowl stir together potato mixture with spinach, baking soda, salt, and all three cheeses.

Lay out puff pastry. Cut into 8" squares. Place 1/3 cup of potato, spinach and cheese mixture into the middle of puff pastry square. Place square in a diamond shape. Take one corner of the puff pastry square and fold over the mixture to the other corner. Take a knife and roll up the edges of the pastry dough so it forms a fluted ridge preventing the cheese mixture from leaking out.

Brush egg yolk on top. Put pastry in oven at 375°F until golden brown.

Variation:
Use filo/phyllo/fillo dough instead puff pastry dough for an authentic Greek style snack. Spread melted butter in-between three filo sheets. Cut the sheets into squares, placing the cheese mixture in the middle of each square. Fold squares over the mixture. Bake at 375°F until golden brown.

take a package of frozen spinich and thaw it. Toss it in a pan with a 1c of cream add some garlic and white white. Sherry works best. if u can get ur hands on "Pernod" a liqour use an ounce of that as well. grind up some salt and pepper and let the cream simmer into the spinich.
