Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 cups fresh spinach
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Transfer to the baking dish.
In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until browned.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth.
Stir in ½ cup mozzarella and ¼ cup Parmesan until melted. Season with red pepper flakes if desired.
Pour the creamy mushroom and spinach mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the seasoning for a few hours before cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more variety.
