This recipe was given to me by the mother of a friend. She made it for us one night and it was outstanding!! Different from so many chicken casseroles. I have made it several times, with a caesar salad, bread for dinner. Everyone that has had it, loved it.

How to Make Chicken, Spinach, and Orzo Casserole

Saute mushrooms until tender.
Mix chicken, orzo, spinach (thawed and drained), mushrooms, soup, mayo, lemon juice, and pepper.
Spoon into a greased 9 x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
