Cheesy Chicken Spinach Frito Bake
This recipe was given to me by my friend and neighbor. She brought this dish to a neighborhood get together, one evening and it was so good that I requested the recipe from her. Cheesy Chicken Spinach Frito Bake isn’t too pretty, but boy is it good! I’m a big fan of spinach dip and this recipe reminds me of that. There’s so many delicious flavors between the saltiness of the Fritos, the cheese, the creamy soups and a little kick from the jalapeños. My family loved this one!
Let’s Make It!
Melt 2 Tbsp of butter and saute the chopped green onion tops until softened.
Add the spinach, soups, sour cream, chilis & chicken to the onions and mix.
Put the crushed Fritos in a casserole.
Pour soup mixture over the Fritos.
Top with the cheese and jalapeños and bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn.
I served it with tortilla chips and a salad.
