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:
- 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.
- 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.
- In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms with a touch of olive oil until they’re soft and golden. Your kitchen will already smell amazing.
- Spread the mushrooms on top of the chicken, then top with a generous handful of fresh baby spinach.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cover loosely with foil (don’t seal it tight) and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Almost there!
- 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.
- 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.
