Chicken, Spinach, and Mushroom Low-Carb Bake
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and mostly cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms and Spinach:
- In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

- Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Prepare the Cream Sauce:
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Assemble the Casserole:
- Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish, then pour the mushroom, spinach, and cream mixture over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, if using.
-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly (if using) and the chicken is fully cooked.
