A deliciously vibrant chicken dish infused with the rich flavors of pesto and fresh spinach, perfect for a healthy dinner.
Ingredients
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup pesto sauce
4 pieces chicken breasts
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Method
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend fresh spinach with pesto sauce.
Spread half of the spinach-pesto mixture across the bottom of a glass baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the spread mixture, ensuring they are centered.
Layer the remaining spinach-pesto blend over the chicken, making sure each piece is generously coated.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep the chicken moist while cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then carefully remove the foil.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear, checking that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
