High-Protein | Low-Carb | Diabetic-Friendly

​Ingredients

  • 6 thin-sliced chicken breasts
  • 1 small bag fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (added per your title)
  • 1 container (8 oz) green onion cream cheese
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Seasoning: 1 dash black pepper & 1 dash herb & garlic seasoning

​Instructions

​1. Layer the Base

​Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a lightly greased baking dish, spread the fresh baby spinach and the sliced mushrooms evenly across the bottom.

​2. Season the Protein

​Lay the thin-sliced chicken breasts on top of the vegetable bed. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the black pepper and the herb & garlic seasoning.

​3. Prepare the Cream Sauce

​In a bowl, whisk together the green onion cream cheese, olive oil, and chicken broth until smooth.

Tip: If the cream cheese is too firm, microwave it for 20 seconds to make mixing easier.

​4. Bake

​Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes (thin-sliced chicken cooks quickly).

​5. Melt and Brown

​Remove the foil and generously top with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Place it back in the oven for 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
