Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the frozen spinach according to package directions, then drain well to remove excess moisture.
  2. Divide the drained spinach evenly among four individual au gratin baking dishes or shallow bowls.
  3. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
  4. Add the boneless skinless chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and no longer pink inside.
  5. Place one piece of cooked chicken on top of the spinach in each baking dish and keep warm.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup skim milk, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules, 1/4 teaspoon caraway seed, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  7. Cook the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes bubbly.
  8. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 ounces of torn nonfat processed Swiss cheese and a dash of Tabasco sauce until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  9. Pour the creamy Swiss cheese sauce evenly over the chicken in each dish.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.
