Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (large)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then add and sear each side for about 5-6 minutes. Remove and let rest.

  6. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and optional Parmesan cheese.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Let it sit for a few minutes to set before serving.
  9. Spoon out generous portions and enjoy!
