Ingredients

1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry thoroughly with paper towels
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
Heat butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam
Place chicken slices into the skillet in a single layer to sear for 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through
Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate to prevent overcooking
Add the fresh spinach to the same skillet and sauté until wilted
Return the chicken to the pan and top with the shredded cheese
Cover the skillet briefly until the cheese is melted and bubbling
Notes
Ensure you dry the chicken thoroughly to get the best golden crust. You can add red pepper flakes for extra heat or a sprinkle of Italian herbs for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
