  • Great for meal prep: It reheats like a dream.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather your cozy casserole crew:

  • 6 thin-sliced chicken breasts
  • 1 container (8 oz) green onion cream cheese
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 large package of sliced mushrooms
  • 1 small bag of fresh baby spinach
  • 1 dash Weber Herb and Garlic Seasoning
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Let’s Make This Creamy Casserole Magic

Ready to bring some low-carb comfort to the table? Here’s how:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Give your 13×9-inch baking dish a quick spray or brush of olive oil if you’re feeling fancy.
  2. Lay the chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and that flavorful dash of Weber Herb and Garlic Seasoning.
  3. In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms with a touch of olive oil until they’re soft and golden. Your kitchen will already smell amazing.
  4. Spread the mushrooms on top of the chicken, then top with a generous handful of fresh baby spinach.
  5. In a bowl, mix the green onion cream cheese, olive oil, and chicken broth until it becomes a rich, pourable sauce. No need for perfection—just stir until smooth-ish.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken, mushrooms, and spinach. Don’t worry if it looks a little messy—it all comes together beautifully in the oven.
  7. Cover loosely with foil (don’t seal it tight) and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Almost there!
  9. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and pop it back in the oven for 5–10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown around the edges.
  10. Serve hot and let the compliments roll in.

Tips for Making It Even Easier

  • Short on time? Use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken. Just reduce the bake time by about 10 minutes.
  • No green onion cream cheese? Mix plain cream cheese with a chopped green onion or two. Easy swap!
  • Want a little crunch? Top with a few crushed pork rinds or almond flour breadcrumbs before the cheese.
  • Feeding a crowd? Double the recipe and use a larger casserole dish—it’s perfect for potlucks or family nights.
