Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Chicken Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients while the oven warms up.

  3. Add 1 pound of chicken pieces to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until browned on all sides.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach and allow it to wilt for around 2 minutes.

  6. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inches baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 35 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
