Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic minced (divided)
- 1/3 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 8 oz jar sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped (reserve 1 tbsp oil)
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Get ready by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly greasing a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Carefully slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make thinner cutlets. Arrange them in your prepared baking dish. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then rub in 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and chopped spinach. Stir in the rest of the minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, and chili powder until everything is well combined.
- Fold in the parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella into the creamy mixture. Give it a good stir.
- Spoon this delicious mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely covered. Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top, then drizzle with the reserved 1 tablespoon of oil from the tomato jar.
- Finish by scattering the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. After that, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
