Ingredients
- 6 thin sliced chicken breasts
- 1 small bag fresh baby spinach
- 1 large package sliced mushrooms
- 1 container green onion cream cheese
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 dash herb and garlic seasoning
You can substitute plain cream cheese if green onion flavor isn’t available, adding fresh chives or scallions for taste.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a skillet, sauté mushrooms in a splash of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Set aside.
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with pepper and herb & garlic seasoning. Arrange in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread green onion cream cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Top with sautéed mushrooms and spinach mixture.
- Pour chicken broth around the edges of the dish to keep chicken moist.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C) and cheese is golden and bubbling.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
Storage & Make-Ahead
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze portions for up to 1 month. Reheat covered in the oven until warmed through.
- Prepare ahead by assembling dish up to step 6. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, then bake before serving.
