Description
This Chicken, Spinach, and Mushroom Oven Dish is a comforting, cheesy bake featuring tender chicken breasts layered with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and cream cheese, topped with mozzarella. Perfect for weeknights, meal prep, or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 6 thin-sliced chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 small bag fresh baby spinach (5 oz)
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 8 oz green onion cream cheese
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 dash black pepper, or to taste
- 1 dash herb and garlic seasoning, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse and drain spinach. Slice chicken breasts if not already thin.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
- Add spinach and cook 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with black pepper and herb & garlic seasoning. Remove from heat.
- Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Spread green onion cream cheese evenly over the chicken.
- Spoon mushroom and spinach mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Pour chicken broth evenly over the dish.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
- Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted, lightly golden, and chicken is fully cooked.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Add extra vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or onions for more flavor.
- Swap mozzarella for a mix of mozzarella and mild cheddar for richer cheese topping.
- Use reduced-fat cream cheese or part-skim mozzarella for a lighter version.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a spicy kick.
- Dish can be frozen after baking for up to 2 months.
