This chicken spinach and mushroom low carb oven dish is a cozy, one-dish dinner made with juicy chicken, creamy cheese sauce, fresh spinach, and sautéed mushrooms. It’s keto-friendly, easy to prepare, and incredibly satisfying—perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms until soft and moisture is released.
  3. Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a saucepan over low heat, melt cream cheese and whisk in heavy cream until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  5. Place chicken in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon spinach-mushroom mixture evenly over the chicken.
  7. Pour the cream sauce over everything, then top with shredded mozzarella.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time—just reduce baking time by 10 minutes.
  • Swap mozzarella with provolone or gouda for a flavor twist.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • Substitute frozen spinach (thawed and drained) if fresh isn’t available.
  • Great for meal prep—leftovers reheat and freeze well.
