Low Carb Creamy Chicken Spinach Bake

Everyday cooking and trying to decide what to cook for dinner for the family can be extremely difficult at times. Trying to come up with a meal that won’t take too much effort, yet is going to satisfy every ones tastes is a common occurrence. This wonderful recipe for Low Carb Creamy Chicken Spinach Bake is going to make your life a little more simple.

This dish takes about 10 minutes to prepare and then just needs to be oven baked until they are cooked through, for about 25 minutes. Serve them with some simple sides such as green beans or broccoli, some cauliflower mash, or even a simple salad, and you have a lovely meal, that tastes fantastic.

If there are only 2 of you, you could still make up the whole recipe and either freeze the leftovers, or serve them for another meal to make you life a little easier.

You can add the spinach leaves (chopped) to the cheese mixture, instead of placing it in the pockets separately if you wish to. The reason I keep them separate is so that I can use some of cream cheese mixture to spread on top of the chicken, without any spinach in it. If you add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, then you could also use thawed, drained frozen spinach.
