Steps

1Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a 9x13 casserole dish.
2Slice the chicken breasts horizontally lengthwise to create thinner breasts. Place them on the casserole dish. Season them with salt, black pepper and rub 2 minced garlic cloves into them.
3In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, heavy cream and spinach. Add in the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder and chili powder. Combine well.
4Add parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese into the bowl and stir well to combine.
5Spread the mixture over the chicken breasts to completely cover them. Then cover with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil from the jar.
6Top up with the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
7Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and let it bake uncovered for 15 minutes until the chicken has fully cooked.
8Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
