Baked Chicken with Spinach & Mozzarella

I made this dish a while back and thank goodness for posting my meals on Facebook! I was literally flipping through recipe books with no idea what to do with the chicken I had thawed out for dinner. Don't you hate when that happens?! It's 5 o'clock and everything you've ever made has slipped your mind and you feel clueless.
 Well, I say thank goodness for Facebook because a friend commented and brought up an old dish I had made from a recipe I found on Pinterest! Everything comes in full circles and it's awesome!

Anyways, on to the recipe. When I make something it has to be easy to follow, not take to much time, and be family friendly! I like to use the least amount of steps and dishes possible. What busy mom doesn't?!






What you'll need:
1 stove-top pan
1 baking pan or dish lined with foil or parchment paper

Ingredients

• 21 oz (3 large) chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise to make 6 cutlets
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 10 oz frozen spinach, drained
• 3 oz shredded part skim mozzarella

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken on a pan lined with foil or parchment paper until no longer pink, careful not to overcook or you'll have dry chicken.

Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add oil and garlic & spinach, salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes until heated through.

When chicken is done (or about 5 mins from being done) pull ouf rom oven.  Divide spinach evenly between the 6 pieces and place on top. Top each with half oz mozzarella and bake until melted, about 6-8 minutes.
