# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
02 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
03 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika
04 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
170 g (about 1 1/2 cups) mozzarella, shredded
07 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped up
08 -
120 ml (around 1/2 cup) sour cream
09 -
227 g (8 oz) soft cream cheese
10 -
4 packed cups fresh spinach
11 -
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Give it about 5 minutes to settle once it’s out of the oven, then dig in.
02 -
Add mozzarella over everything and pop it in the oven. Wait around 25 to 30 minutes till the cheese is bubbly and the chicken’s done.
03 -
First, cover the bottom of your greased dish with spinach. Next, set the just-seared chicken on the greens. Scoop the creamy mix right on top of those chicken pieces.
04 -
Grab a mixing bowl and blend your soft cream cheese, sour cream, chopped garlic, and a little salt. Mix till nice and smooth.
05 -
Sprinkle both sides of your chicken with the salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Heat olive oil in a big skillet—get it hot! Sear those chicken breasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just till a bit of color shows up. Take them off the heat.
06 -
Fire up your oven to 190°C (375°F). Spray or grease a 9x13-inch dish so nothing sticks.
