Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

Proteins & Dairy

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Seasonings & Oils

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned, developing deep flavor.
  3. Cook Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and combined well with the mushrooms.
  4. Mix Chicken and Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy mixture.
  5. Combine Vegetables: Fold the sautéed spinach and mushrooms into the chicken and cheese mixture, stirring gently until everything is evenly combined.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly, then transfer the combined mixture into it, spreading evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and has turned a nice golden brown color, indicating it is cooked through and flavorful.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes to allow the flavors to settle and make serving easier.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for color and freshness before serving your delicious low carb chicken spinach mushroom bake.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken breast to save prep time—rotisserie chicken works great.
  • Feel free to substitute cream cheese with Neufchâtel cheese to reduce fat content slightly.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle extra Parmesan on top before baking.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure to drain excess moisture from spinach and mushrooms before mixing to avoid watery casserole.
