Ingredients
- Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- Fresh spinach
- Cremini or button mushrooms
- Cream cheese
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh minced garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Italian seasoning
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they're golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- While the vegetables are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on both sides.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms and spinach with the cream cheese. Mix until well incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once out of the oven, let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
