Skillet
Baking dish
Cheese grater
Garlic press (optional)

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
10 oz fresh spinach washed and roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ tsp nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add nutmeg and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts.
Return the cooked ground chicken to the skillet and mix everything together.
Transfer the chicken and spinach mixture to a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
