Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

- In a medium bowl, combine spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
