Ingredients

Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat.
Add Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and have released their moisture.
Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with Weber Herb and Garlic Seasoning and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Chicken
Layer the Chicken: Place the thinly sliced chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the green onion cream cheese over the chicken breasts. You can use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Step 4: Combine and Bake
Add the Mushroom and Spinach Mixture: Spoon the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture over the cream cheese-covered chicken.
Pour Chicken Broth: Carefully pour the chicken broth around the edges of the baking dish, ensuring it doesn’t wash away the cream cheese.
Top with Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve
Cool Slightly: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish (Optional): If desired, garnish with additional fresh herbs or green onions before serving.
Enjoy: Serve hot as a main dish alongside your favorite low-carb sides or a simple salad.
