Oven Baked Chicken Breasts

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425 F.
• Slice each chicken breast in half, so it’s half as thick as before. The resulting pieces should be no thicker than about 1/2 inch. If moist, pat them dry with paper towels.
• Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread out the chicken pieces in a single layer on the parchment paper.
• Season the chicken with half of the salt and pepper. Flip them and season the other side with the remaining 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.
• In a bowl, stir together cooked spinach, softened cream cheese, and all other topping ingredients until well-mixed. Evenly spread the mixture across the tops of the chicken pieces.
• Bake at 425 F until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces. Let it cool at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
