Chicken Spinach and mushroom without pasta is a healthy and low-carb dietary dish. There is a lot of spinach, a lot of mushrooms, cream cheese sauce, and mozzarella. You can choose any side dish for this casserole. It is prepared quickly and easily – literally, fold everything in layers and put in the oven. A sumptuous dinner is ready and you are great!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
- Chicken breasts are the main ingredient in our casserole. Slice them lengthways into 2 thinner slices. Optionally, you can substitute turkey for chicken.
- Green onion cream cheese – base sauce in which chicken and vegetables will be baked. A slightly salty creamy taste with herbs is what you need!
- Olive oil – add oil to the cream cheese. It gives a little fat and a subtle flavor.
- Chicken broth with chicken breast goes well, so we add it to the cream cheese. However, it can be easily replaced with water.
- Sliced mushrooms – I prefer to use pre-fried mushrooms in this recipe (so they won’t give extra liquid). You can use canned mushrooms, drain the liquid from them. In general, you can use your other favorite mushrooms.
- Fresh spinach – highly nutritious vegetable greens! Do not skimp, add more.
- Herb and Garlic Seasoning – This seasoning gives a great flavor. If you don’t have one at hand, make one yourself by mixing dried basil, oregano, parsley, garlic, and ground pepper.
- Mozzarella is the finishing touch. It is difficult to spoil something with cheese, and even more so with mozzarella. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella over the cooked casserole and enjoy!

This is a family favorite. It is an easy recipe to follow. I like that this recipe uses ingredients that I have a home. I use boneless, skinless chicken tenders and baked it at 350 for the same amount of time.
