Units
Scale
- 1 small bag fresh baby spinach
- 1 dash black pepper
- 1 dash herb and garlic seasoning
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 thin-sliced chicken breasts
- 1 container (about 8 oz) green onion cream cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms (optional, but would complement the dish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until softened (if using). Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with black pepper and herb and garlic seasoning.
- Spread the green onion cream cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the spinach and mushroom mixture in the skillet.
- Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
- Top the chicken breasts with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Try using different cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for a flavor twist.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or onions for more texture and nutrition.
- For a creamier dish, substitute heavy cream for the chicken broth.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer everything to a baking dish before baking.
- Serve with cauliflower rice or a fresh salad for a complete low-carb meal.
