Provided by charlotteh371

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!

Tips:

  • Prep the Spinach: To ensure the spinach is evenly cooked and wilted, make sure to squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the casserole.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh spinach, cream cheese, and other ingredients. Fresh ingredients will yield a more vibrant and delicious casserole.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will lose its vibrant green color and become mushy.
  • Use a Good Quality Cream Cheese: The quality of the cream cheese can greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. Opt for a high-quality, full-fat cream cheese for the best results.
  • Season to Taste: Don't forget to season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking. This will enhance the flavor and make the casserole more enjoyable.

Conclusion:

A creamy spinach casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its combination of creamy sauce, tender spinach, and flavorful cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit.
