- 1 cup Spinach, fresh
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Set aside.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded chicken and cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Toss in the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese over the chicken and pasta mixture.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the ingredients in the skillet, ensuring it coats everything evenly.
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 5 minutes, letting the edges set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken and Pasta Frittata!
