Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crunchy topping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth and creamy.

          Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy spinach sauce. If desired, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy finish.

            Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the sauce is bubbly.

              Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy Parmesan spinach chicken bake with a side of rice or pasta!
