Number Of Ingredients 10

The marinade:
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut horizontally
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cup spinach, rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 oz Mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, optional

Steps:

  • Add olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes into a Ziplok bag along with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake until mixed. Add the chicken breasts, seal, and massage so the chicken is covered in the marinade, set aside for 10-15 minutes while you prep the remaining ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C). 2. Quickly wilt the spinach in a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, set aside. 3. Arrange chicken breasts drained from the marinade in a baking dish. Spread the softened cream cheese over the chicken and lay spinach on top of the cream cheese. Finally, sprinkle mozzarella over the top. 4. Bake the chicken casserole for 20-30 minutes. Chicken is done when cooked through to an internal temperature of 165˚F (75°C). Serve warm with a side of cauliflower rice, or baked veggies. Enjoy!

I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so I used sour cream instead. I also added some cooked bacon to the filling. It was a delicious and easy weeknight meal!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some diced red peppers and mushrooms to the filling, and I used a different type of cheese blend. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and my casserole turned out runny. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was disappointed with the results.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it helped a lot. But overall, I thought the flavors were just okay.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spinach. But I was pleasantly surprised! The spinach is cooked perfectly and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the casserole. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with a rotisserie chicken and it was so flavorful. The casserole was also very easy to make and didn't require a lot of ingredients.
