📝 Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
• 3 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)

🔥 Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, sauté mushrooms in olive oil over medium heat until browned and tender (about 5–7 minutes). Add garlic and cook another minute.
3. Add spinach and cook until wilted (if using fresh). Remove from heat.
4. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, heavy cream, and half the mozzarella or Parmesan. Stir in the sautéed mushroom-spinach mix. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Place chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Season with salt & pepper. Spoon the creamy spinach mushroom mixture evenly over the chicken.
6. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
7. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end if you want the cheese golden and bubbly!
