Garlicky Spinach Chicken Bake
- 1 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (both Sides)
- Olive Oil As Needed For Drizzling
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken Or Vegetable Stock
- 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
- 4 ounces, weight Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 pound Fresh Baby Spinach
- 1/4 cups Pine Nuts
- Preheat the oven to 450 F and heat a skillet to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and cook in the skillet, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through.
- This will take about 7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the chicken to a plate to cool, then shred with two forks into bite-sized pieces.
- When the chicken is done, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic into the skillet.
- Cook for one minute then add the stock, cream cheese, cream, and half the Parmesan.
- Stir to combine until the sauce is smooth and bubbly.
- Place the spinach in a large bowl.
- Pour the cream sauce over the spinach and stir to wilt the spinach slightly.
- Add the chicken to the mixture.
- Taste, and add salt and pepper to your preference.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (I used a large oval baker) and top with the pine nuts and remaining Parmesan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the dish is bubbly and the spinach has wilted a bit more.
- Serve with crusty bread for dunking, or over quinoa or pasta.
- Enjoy!
