Time 1h

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅛ teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning together in a bowl. Coat chicken breasts in the mixture and arrange in an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic until tender, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour to form a paste, about 3 minutes. Add cream; cook and stir until paste is thickened, about 7 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach; cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour spinach mixture over chicken breasts in the baking dish; top with any remaining Parmesan cheese mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I usually make it on the weekend and then reheat it for dinner during the week.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts for extra flavor.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to get your veggies in, and it's also really delicious. I usually add a little bit of extra cheese to the top before baking, and it always comes out perfect.

This casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spinach added a nice pop of color and nutrients. I will definitely be making this again.
