👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place chicken in a bowl and pour in enough Italian salad dressing to coat.

Marinate in the refrigerator, 2 to 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Drain and discard marinade from chicken and season chicken with garlic powder and lemon pepper.

Transfer seasoned chicken to a casserole dish.

Layer spinach over chicken.

Mix cream cheese, chives, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

Slowly pour chicken broth into cream cheese mixture, stirring until mixture is smooth; pour over chicken and spinach.

Cover casserole dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Remove foil and top chicken mixture with mozzarella cheese; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.
