INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE SPINACH CHICKEN CASSEROLE

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
The marinade:
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, optional

1. To prepare the spinach chicken casserole: Add olive oil, garlic, Italian
seasoning, and red pepper flakes into a Ziplock bag along with 1 teaspoon of
salt and  teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake until mixed. Add the
chicken breasts, seal, and massage so the chicken breasts are covered in the
marinade, set aside for 10-15 minutes on the counter while you prep the
remaining ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat
the oven to 400F (200C).

2. Quickly wilt the spinach in a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and set
aside.

3. Arrange chicken breasts drained from the marinade in a baking dish. Spread
the softened cream cheese over the chicken breasts and lay spinach on top of
the cream cheese. Finally, sprinkle mozzarella over the top.

4. Bake the spinach chicken casserole for 20-30 minutes. Chicken casserole is
done when cooked through to an internal temperature of 165
