CHEESY SPINACH & RICOTTA CHICKEN BAKE! 🍗🧀
Need a new way to love chicken breast? This juicy, cheesy, tomatoey bake is bursting with flavour and couldn’t be easier. I stuff the chicken with a creamy spinach and ricotta mix, then bake it right in the sauce. It’s a one-pan wonder that feels a bit fancy but is totally easy enough for a weeknight. Let’s do this!
