Mushroom Spinach Chicken
Do you need a delicious and beautiful meal that’s ready in less than 30 minutes? Then you just found it!
These juicy chicken breasts are topped with garlic, earthy spinach, savory mushrooms, and plenty of creamy cheese. This is a fancy and tasty meal that’s perfect for special occasions.
You’ll also love how this easy recipe uses ingredients you probably already have at home. In fact, if you don’t have Italian seasoning, you can make your own with basil, parsley, and thyme.
Spinach Cheese Chicken
I used chicken breasts to make this dish, because it has the perfect texture with the sauteed mushrooms. But chicken thighs or even chicken tenders will also work.
If you use chicken thighs, please trim fat and tendons off. And if you use chicken tenders, then watch them closely because they will cook quicker.
I used provolone cheese on top of the chicken breasts. I love the slightly-tangy flavor that it has.
Plus, it’s mild so the mushrooms and spinach will really stand out. You could use fresh mozzarella instead.
It will have a slightly sweet flavor that will enhance the spinach.
Keto Spinach Chicken
It’s always a good idea to cook with fresh spinach, not frozen or canned. The fresh spinach has a stronger flavor and it will have a better texture as it wilts while it’s cooking.
I seasoned this recipe with a familiar blend of garlic and onion powders and Italian seasoning. But if you want to give it a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes, too!
What To Eat With The Chicken
Keto mushroom spinach chicken tastes amazing with anything you want to serve on the side. Add something sweet, like basil marinated berries and cottage cheese or add something spicy, like some keto jalapeno deviled eggs.
