Ingredients

For the Casserole:

1 lb chicken breasts (about 2, cut in half horizontally)
8 oz fresh spinach
8 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese

For the Creamy Sauce:

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:

Set your oven to 500°F. Lightly coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan cheese, black pepper, and garlic salt until smooth and well-combined.

Assemble the Casserole:

Layer the fresh spinach in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Next, place the uncooked chicken breasts on top of the spinach. Spread the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.

Add Cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the casserole.

Bake:

Place the dish on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the spinach has wilted.

Notes

Be sure to use a baking dish that can withstand high oven temperatures (500°F), such as a heavy-duty Dutch oven.
For a creamy and flavorful meal, serve over your favorite rice or pasta.
