Ingredients

  • Lush Spinach Delight:
  • A package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained, weighing 10 ounces,
  • 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, finely grated,
  • 3/4 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softened,
  • A can (3 ounces) of French-fried onions, portioned,
  • 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice,
  • 2 tablespoons of finely minced garlic,
  • Pinches of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance flavors.
  • Tender Coconut Chicken:
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil for a tropical twist,
  • 1 pound of skinless, boneless chicken breast halves for succulence,
  • A tablespoon of liquid amino acid (like Bragg®), to your liking.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for that perfect cooking temperature. Let's kick off the delicious adventure by combining vibrant spinach, flavorful Parmesan cheese, creamy cream cheese, most of those crunchy French-fried onions, zesty lemon juice, aromatic garlic, a pinch of sea salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper in a mixing bowl. Once everything is beautifully mingled, gently spread this delightful mixture into a clear glass baking dish, ready to be transformed into a culinary masterpiece.

Step 2

Slide your baking dish into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. Allow the mixture to warm up and thicken, which should take around 15 minutes. Once it's beautifully heated through, sprinkle the remaining French-fried onions on top of the spinach concoction, and let it bake a bit longer until those onions turn a gorgeous golden brown, adding a lovely crunch to your creation.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat up some luscious coconut oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place your chicken into the sizzling coconut oil, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear. This process usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes per side. To ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that it reaches a safe internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Once your chicken is cooked to perfection, plate it up and generously spoon the flavorful spinach mixture on top. This dish not only tastes divine but also looks like a work of art on your plates. Enjoy your culinary creation!
