Description
A comforting dish filled with tender chicken, fresh spinach, and hearty mushrooms, perfect for family gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound diced chicken breast
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces cooked pasta (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare your ingredients: dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, slice the mushrooms, and rinse the fresh spinach.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the diced chicken. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add in the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts down.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir everything together. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Transfer the entire chicken, vegetable, and sauce mixture into a greased baking dish. If using pasta, gently fold it in at this stage.
- Top everything with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm!
