Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather and prepare your ingredients.
- Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from skillet to rest.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil and butter, then add sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, then add heavy cream and Italian seasonings, simmering for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Fold in the fresh spinach into the sauce until wilted. Nestle the browned chicken back into the skillet.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and remaining Parmesan over the chicken and sauce, or transfer to a baking dish if needed.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side salad or low-carb accompaniments.

Notes
