Description
A comforting and elegant baked chicken dish featuring tender chicken in a creamy green onion sauce, served over sautéed spinach and topped with caramelized mushrooms for a rich, savory flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until caramelized and tender. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
- Add spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Push spinach to the sides, return chicken to the center, and pour heavy cream over the chicken. Sprinkle with green onions, Parmesan, and thyme.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. Top with caramelized mushrooms before serving.
