For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for warmth. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets or chopped carrots. To make this casserole ahead of time, assemble it but don't bake it. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time when ready to bake. If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, you can use rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken breast and dice it. To prevent the casserole from drying out, make sure the spinach is well drained and use enough sauce to keep everything moist.
