Description
A creamy, cheesy low-carb bake featuring tender chicken breasts, fresh spinach, and mushrooms in a rich garlic cream sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a baking dish.
- In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the mushroom-spinach mixture over the chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
