Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the chicken breasts by slicing them thinner if desired, patting them dry, and seasoning both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.
4
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
5
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat.
6
Pour the heavy cream over the chicken in the baking dish.
7
Spread the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the chicken.
8
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
9
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously before searing to build flavor and ensure even cooking.
Sauté mushrooms and spinach in the same pan before assembling to remove excess moisture and prevent a watery sauce.
Top the bake with cheese in the final 5 minutes of baking to achieve a golden, bubbly finish without burning.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness—avoid cutting into the chicken, which releases juices and dries it out.

Substitutions

Heavy cream → full-fat coconut cream or Greek yogurt (adjust consistency as needed)
Mozzarella and Parmesan → sharp cheddar or gruyere (use equal amounts)
Mushrooms → diced zucchini or bell peppers (sauté until tender)
Fresh spinach → Swiss chard or kale (chop and cook slightly longer)

Storage & make-ahead

Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F for 10–15 minutes. Assemble unbaked up to 24 hours ahead and bake from cold, adding 5–10 minutes to baking time.
