Ingredients
For the Casserole:- 1 lb chicken breasts (about 2 breasts, cut in half crosswise)
- 8 oz fresh spinach
- 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 500°F. Lightly coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside. - Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan cheese, black pepper, and garlic salt to make the creamy sauce. - Assemble the Casserole:
- Spread the fresh spinach evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the uncooked chicken breasts on top of the spinach.
- Spread the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Add Cheese and Bake:
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top. Place the baking dish on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and the chicken is cooked through.
Notes:
- Use a baking dish that can safely handle temperatures up to 500°F, like a heavy Dutch oven-style baking dish.
