  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  3. Toss chicken cutlets in the marinade and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.

  6. Optionally, sear marinated chicken in the skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side.
  7. Arrange chicken in the greased baking dish, cover with the cream cheese and spinach mixture, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.

  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Use an instant-read thermometer to check chicken doneness.
