Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 4 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low. Add cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine. Add shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
