Step 2
Chop the baby spinach leaves finely and stir them into the cream cheese mixture. Then add the grated cheese and mix everything well.

Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides.

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, until cooked through.
