Description
This recipe is for a comforting and easy-to-make chicken, spinach, and mushroom bake. It combines chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce in a single baking dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 10 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid.
- Stir in the chopped spinach in batches, allowing it to wilt before adding more, until all spinach is incorporated.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add the cooked chicken and the spinach-mushroom mixture to the soup mixture in the bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- If desired, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs on top for a crispy crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the casserole is bubbly and lightly golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with a side of rice, pasta, or a fresh salad.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or a fresh salad.
