Description

A hearty and healthy low-carb baked casserole featuring tender chicken breast, fresh spinach, and sautéed mushrooms, all baked to perfection with creamy cheese and herbs. Perfect for a satisfying dinner that’s both nutritious and easy to prepare.


Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

2 cups mushrooms, sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
  4. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Season with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add the heavy cream and half of the mozzarella cheese to the bowl, stirring gently to coat all ingredients.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
