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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Season with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add the heavy cream and half of the mozzarella cheese to the bowl, stirring gently to coat all ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly before serving (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
- Can be served with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
