["This seems like a lot of work, but really isn't.", "I tend to go for more of the ""baked"" or grilled dishes on the weeknight, as they're easier, and we like getting the protein and veggies all together.", "So I de-boned the freshly roasted chicken and placed all the pieces in the bottom of a 9 x 13 [sprayed] baking dish.", "Sprinkle the drained and defrosted spinach on top of the chicken, along with the fresh spinach (yum!).", "Kind of mix it up with your fingers.", "In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayo, Dijon mustard, garlic and spices and all cheeses-mixing completely.", "Spread this mixture over the chicken and spinach (not mixed in it) and pop into a 375 oven for 30 minutes, un-covered.", "Remove and sprinkle the ham on top, and return to the oven, running it under the broiler (on the middle rack) for about 10-minutes, until browned and bubbly."]
