Description

A creamy, cheesy, and satisfying low-carb casserole featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and nutrient-packed spinach. Perfect for a keto-friendly dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and chicken broth. Pour into the skillet and stir to combine.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, mix everything together, and then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  7. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. Add red pepper flakes for heat or swap mozzarella with cheddar for different flavor. For extra low-carb, use almond flour to thicken if desired.
