Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 1 onion coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 15- ounce bag frozen spinach
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup part-skim grated mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese more for serving, if desired
- Cooked rice or pasta for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray. Add the onion and cook until clear and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the spinach and stir to combine. Once the spinach is melted and combined, add the sour cream, dill, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine.
- Place the chicken thighs on top of the spinach and nestle into the spinach. Transfer to the oven and bake until the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife and the internal temperature registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with the cheeses. Change the oven setting to broil and cook until the cheese is bubbling and browned, about 5 minutes depending on the strength of your broiler, and their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
