A quick and easy oven baked chicken breast recipe! Cream cheese is a simple way to make the best tasty chicken in your oven with very little effort. This recipe is naturally low carb, but you can serve it with a side of pasta or rice for your family.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Pat the chicken dry and place them in your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
Cook the spinach on your stovetop until wilted. If you're using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drain and pat out any excess grease.
Microwave the cream cheese until very soft (about 20 seconds) and then stir it together with the cooked spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder.
Evenly plop the cream cheese mixture onto your chicken breasts and then spread it over top with a small spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake uncovered in the center rack of your oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
