Description
A delicious and nutritious low-carb dinner featuring tender chicken, fresh spinach, and flavorful mushrooms in a creamy, cheesy sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounce fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Sauté Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, until they’re golden and soft.
3. Add Garlic & Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the chopped spinach and cook until it’s wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
4. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.
5. Assemble Dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.
6. Add Cream & Cheese: Pour the heavy cream over the top of the dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the top.
7. Bake: Bake the Easy Low-Carb Chicken Spinach Mushroom Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is melted and golden.
8. Serve: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts of similar size for even cooking.
Avoid excess moisture by thoroughly sautéing the mushrooms and wilting the spinach before assembling the bake.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Experiment with different cheeses or greens.
