Description
A creamy, cheesy low-carb bake loaded with tender chicken, fresh spinach, and mushrooms. Perfect for a satisfying dinner without the carbs.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture in the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with half of the chicken, half of the spinach-mushroom mixture, and half of the mozzarella. Repeat layers.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. For extra richness, use heavy cream instead of broth. Ensure chicken is fully cooked before baking.
