4 cups fresh baby spinach
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and heavy cream until completely smooth.
Fold the shredded chicken, fresh spinach, garlic powder, and half of the cheddar cheese into the cream base.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for the easiest mixing. You can substitute heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk if you prefer a lower calorie option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
