2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 tsp table salt
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
- Topping
3 oz cream cheese
3/4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 oz finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3 oz chopped fresh spinach leaves, stems removed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degree F.
- Slice each chicken breast in half. Pat them with paper towels if needed.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lay chicken pieces flat in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- Season chicken with 1/2 salt and pepper. Flip and season the other side with other half of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a pan on the stovetop, cook spinach until wilted. Separately, microwave cream cheese until very soft and easily mixed, about 20 seconds.
- Combine cooked spinach, softened cream cheese, and all other topping ingredients in a bowl. Stir to combine. Spread an even layer of the mixture on top of chicken pieces.
- Bake in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- The baking time might be longer, depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
