Recipe: Chicken and Water Chestnuts (using cooked chicken)

This is one of those recipes I have had for years but have yet to make. It sounds interesting,
maybe posting it will get me to try it!

Chicken and Water Chestnuts

4 medium size white potatoes
2 bunches spinach
1/2 lb sliced Monterey Jack cheese
10 water chestnuts (recipe doesn t say whether to slice them or not, I probably would)
1 cup leftover cooked chicken cut in pieces
Pinch of thyme
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel potatoes, dice & boil until tender in just enough water to barely cover. Mash potatoes in leftover water. Set aside. Blanch spinach in salted water, drain.

Butter a deep casserole dish. Put in layer of mashed potatoes, layer of sliced cheese, layer of water chestnuts, layer of chicken, layer of spinach. Sprinkle pinch of thyme over spinach and repeat layering ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Cover and bake 15 to 20 minutes in 350 degree F. oven, until cheese has thoroughly melted. Serves 4.
