 Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven 🔥

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms 🍳

Step 3: Prepare the Chicken 🍗

1. Pat the thin-sliced chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with pepper and herb and garlic seasoning .
2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side , just until lightly browned (they don’t need to be fully cooked at this stage ). Remove and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish 🥄

1. Spread half of the fresh baby spinach evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
2. Arrange the seared chicken breasts on top of the spinach layer.
3. Spoon dollops of green onion cream cheese over the chicken, spreading gently to cover each piece.
4. Scatter the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the chicken.
5. Add the remaining baby spinach on top of the mushrooms.
6. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the dish to keep everything moist during baking.

Step 5: Bake the Dish 🍲

1. Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes , or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C ) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
   • Tip: If the cheese starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
