Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
3 cups fresh spinach
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
½ cup heavy cream (or half‑and‑half)
½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat.
Spread the mushroom‑spinach mixture evenly in the baking dish.
Place seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables.
Pour cream evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle with cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
