Chicken with spinach | Baked

Chicken with spinach is a dish prepared entirely in the oven, featuring tender chicken breast in a well-seasoned, creamy spinach sauce with cheese and cream. 
Prep Time 20 minutes
Czas pieczenia 25 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Course Main, Dinner

Ingredients
  

  • 3 chicken breast (single)
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • 120 ml cream (18%)
  • 150 g spinach
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • grated Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half crosswise, then halve the thicker part again to achieve two pieces of similar thickness. If any piece is significantly thicker, tenderise it gently with a meat mallet.
  • Finely chop the washed spinach and set it aside.
  • In a tall glass dish, thoroughly combine the cream cheese, cream, grated garlic clove, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the prepared chicken in an ovenproof dish so that the pieces of meat do not overlap. Spread the spinach on top and pour the prepared sauce over it.
  • Bake the prepared dish for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. I suggest checking the meat after 25 minutes and adding a few more minutes if needed.
  • If the sauce separates during baking, simply give it a good stir. For added flavour, you have the option to sprinkle a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the finished dish (optional).
  • Serve the chicken in spinach alongside rice, grains, or your other favourite additions. Enjoy your meal!
