Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning
  • 14 oz prepared refrigerated spinach dip store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a cast iron pan or ovenproof skillet with nonstick spray.
  • Pat the 4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared skillet in a single layer.
  • Spread about 14 oz prepared spinach dip evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the spinach-topped chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C).
  • Switch the oven to broil and broil for 3–5 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Equipment

  • Cast iron pan
  • Oven
  • Meat Thermometer

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Watch closely while broiling to avoid burning the cheese.
  • Store-bought or homemade spinach dip both work well.
