🍽️ Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom Low-Carb Oven Bake

Serves: 2–4
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 30–35 min

Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts (or thighs), sliced or pounded thin

• 2 cups fresh spinach

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk

• 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven

   • Set to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook mushrooms & garlic

   • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

   • Sauté garlic and mushrooms until softened, 3–4 min.

   • Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season lightly.

3. Prepare chicken

   • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme/Italian seasoning.

   • Lightly sear in pan for 1–2 min per side (optional but adds flavor).

4. Assemble in baking dish

   • Layer chicken in a greased oven-safe dish.

   • Top with mushroom-spinach mixture.

   • Pour heavy cream evenly over the top.

   • Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

5. Bake

   • Bake 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal) and cheese is golden & bubbly.

6. Serve

   • Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

   • Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley for color.

🔥 Pro Tips

• Extra creamy: Mix cream with 1 tsp Dijon mustard or 2 tbsp cream cheese before pouring over chicken.

• Make ahead: Assemble in the dish and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; bake when ready.

• Add crunch: Top with crushed pork rinds or almond flour for a low-carb topping.

If you want, I can make a one-pan shortcut version that cooks everything together without pre-searing the chicken, saving 10–15 minutes.
