Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.75 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the frozen corn and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until well blended.
Chop the partially cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and add them to the cheese mixture. Fold in the sautéed vegetables.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the chicken bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your colorful and cheesy Confetti Chicken Bake!
