Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and treat a glass baking dish with cooking spray. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and add olive oil and garlic. Sauté for a 2-3 minutes on each side until chicken is golden brown. Remove from heat and place into prepared baking pan.

Top chicken with spinach, roasted red pepper slices and mozzarella cheese. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese has melted, about 8-10 minutes.
