Creamy Spinach and Chicken Over Toast

This little number has been nicknamed "The Ugly Dish" by my husband. But don't worry, he means it endearingly. He loves the taste, he just thinks it looks funny. And, well...it kind of does. See what I mean?


But it is pretty tasty. Think creamed spinach with some chicken thrown in, and a little toast. MMM.

Ingredients:
About 1.5 cups heavy cream (you can use half and half too)
1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 to 1.5 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1.5 cups cooked, chopped chicken breast (probably 2 breasts)
garlic to taste (fresh or powder)-I used about 1.5-2 teaspoons garlic powder
Bread, for toast

Directions:
In a medium sized saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium/medium low heat for a couple minutes. Add the spinach, garlic, and cheese, stirring frequently until everything is heated through and the cheese has melted into the cream. It should be pretty thick, but still somewhat fluid. You can add a tiny bit more cream if it's too thick, but make sure it gets heated up. Add the cut up chicken, stir it in, and heat through. When everything is heated through and melted and yummy, scoop it over toast and serve immediately.

Like I said before...not the most beautiful meal ever, but yummy enough to redeem itself. It has a good personality. ;)
