Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Low-Carb Chicken Spinach Mushroom Bake
- Begin by patting your boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and seasoning them generously with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Allow the seasoned chicken to marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the marinated chicken, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until it’s lightly browned.
- In the same skillet, add a touch more olive oil and a bit of butter. Toss in the sliced cremini mushrooms, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until they soften and release their moisture. Then add minced garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Fold in the fresh baby spinach until it wilts down. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Return the seared chicken to the skillet.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Sprinkle more mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan over the dish. Bake for 18-22 minutes.
- After removing the bake from the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes. Consider garnishing with freshly chopped herbs before serving.
