I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the oven. The spinach and cheese added a nice touch of flavor and creaminess. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, the spinach was perfectly wilted, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
