Easy Low-Carb Chicken Spinach Mushroom Bake is a delicious, low-carb meal that’s easy to prepare, combining tender chicken, fresh spinach, and savory mushrooms in a creamy, cheesy sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounce fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Sauté Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they’re golden and tender.
3. Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the chopped spinach and cook until it’s wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat.
4. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.
5. Assemble the Dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.
6. Add Cream and Cheese: Pour the heavy cream over the top of the dish, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the top.
7. Bake: Bake the dish uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden.
8. Serve: Allow the bake to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
