Chicken spinach and mushroom

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Wilt Spinach: Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
6. Arrange Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestled among the mushrooms and spinach.
7. Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle dried Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using) over the dish.
8. Cheese Topping: Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Broil (Optional): If you want a golden-brown crust on the cheese, you can broil the dish for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
11. Serve: Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve the chicken breasts with the mushroom, spinach, and cheese mixture on top.
