TOTAL TIME

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Butter the bottom of a baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Season chicken breasts on both sides with the spice mixture.

Place chicken breasts, flat side down, in the greased baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes.

CREAMED SPINACH

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add spinach and cook for 1 or 2 minutes until it is heated through and starts to wilt. Remove from heat.

Add minced garlic, half and half, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheeses melt and the spinach is creamy.

FINISH WITH

Remove the baking pan with chicken breasts from the oven.

Top each chicken breast with creamed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped bacon, and a slice of pepper jack cheese.

Bake in the oven, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear.
