What You Need:

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut horizontally
• 150g cream cheese, softened
• 2 cup spinach, rinsed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 100g Mozzarella cheese, shredded

The marinade:

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, or any fresh herbs chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil

    
What to Do:

1. Add olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes into a ziplock bag along with 1/2 tsp of salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake until mixed.
2. Add the chicken breasts, seal, and massage so the chicken is covered in the marinade, set aside for 10-15 minutes while you prep the remaining ingredients.
3. Position a rack in the centre of the oven and preheat the oven to 200°C.
4. Quickly wilt the spinach in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, set aside.
5. Arrange chicken breasts drained from the marinade in a baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chicken and lay spinach on top of the cream cheese. Finally, sprinkle mozzarella over the top.
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Chicken is done when cooked through and no pink inside. Serve warm with a side of cauliflower rice, potatoes, salad or baked veggies.
