  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Onion - 1 small, diced
  • Cream cheese - 100 grams, softened

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the skillet with the chicken and spinach, stirring to combine everything thoroughly.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
