Combine chicken, rice and contents of seasoning packet, carrots, mushrooms, onion, peas, and spinach in a bowl. Stir in broth and soup. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.

Cook’s Note:

You can use frozen peas & carrots and skip the microwave step. Actually, you can use any veggies your family likes ? broccoli and zucchini would both work great!
