Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Spinach and Mushroom Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Season and Sear the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
  • Sauté Spinach and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  • Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over low heat. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth, then stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the Dish: Spoon the spinach and mushroom mixture over the chicken. Pour the creamy sauce over it and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake: Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden top.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Add zucchini, bell peppers, or broccoli to the dish for extra veggies and nutrients.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk and nutritional yeast as substitutes.
  • If using pre-cooked chicken, reduce baking time to avoid overcooking.
