Step 1

Microwave spinach to defrost and then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Mix in softened cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and mayo. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Step 2

Depending on your chicken breasts, you may want to cut them in half, so they are about 1 inch thick. I usually cut each piece into 2 smaller pieces.

Step 3

In a skillet, brown your chicken breasts in oil. We want a good sear, so 3 minutes on each side. Place the chicken into a baking dish and top with the spinach mixture.

Step 4

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, Add mozzarella cheese on top and bake for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted!

Step 5

While that is cooking, melt 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan. Add in garlic and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in chicken broth (water + bouillon cube) and your favorite seasonings. Let this come to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling add your rice, stir well, and reduce heat to low. Cook covered for about 15-18 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. After cooking, remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of butter and fluff before serving.
