Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons olive oil

1½ pounds boneless

skinless chicken breasts

2 teaspoons garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

5 ounces fresh spinach

8 ounces cream cheese

½ cup sour cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken chunks, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and sauté until cooked through and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the fresh spinach (or thawed frozen spinach) and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the sautéed chicken and spinach to the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently to coat.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden.
Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
