Make this simple, hearty, low-carb chicken, spinach, and mushroom casserole for a satisfying dinner. This recipe uses cream cheese and heavy cream for a rich texture without added starches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 10 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts down completely, stirring often. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
  6. Stir the shredded chicken, the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture, salt, pepper, and half of the mozzarella cheese into the cream cheese mixture until everything is combined.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  8. Top the casserole evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a quick prep, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
  • If you want a slightly tangier flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of sour cream for 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream.
  • This makes excellent low carb meal prep chicken for lunches.
