Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

- Return cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a golden-brown top.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
