A rich, cheesy, and comforting dish that’s full of flavor — perfect for family dinners or meal prep!

📝 Ingredients:

  1. 6 thin-sliced chicken breasts
  2. 1 small bag of fresh baby spinach (about 4–5 cups)
  3. 1 large package of sliced mushrooms (about 8 oz / 225g)
  4. 1 container of green onion cream cheese (approx. 8 oz / 225g)
  5. 8 oz (225g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  6. 1/4 cup olive oil
  7. 1/2 cup chicken broth
  8. 1 dash black pepper (to taste)
  9. 1 dash herb and garlic seasoning (or Italian seasoning)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the chicken:

  • Lightly season the chicken breasts with a dash of black pepper and herb & garlic seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly browned (not fully cooked).
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook the vegetables:

  • In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften (about 4–5 minutes).
  • Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted (1–2 minutes).
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the container of green onion cream cheese until melted and creamy.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and mix until combined into a creamy sauce.

4. Assemble the bake:

  • In a large baking dish, layer the seared chicken breasts.
  • Pour the creamy spinach and mushroom mixture over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

5. Bake:

  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve:

  • Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread!

💡 Tips:

  • You can use plain cream cheese and add chopped green onions if green onion cream cheese is unavailable.
  • Add garlic or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • This dish is great for meal prep — it reheats well the next day!
