How to Make Chicken, Spinach, and Mushroom Low Carb Oven Dish

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
4. Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet with the mushrooms and spinach. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Place the cooked chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the creamy spinach and mushroom sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the sauce is fully cooked.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
