Garlic – 5 cloves, minced 5. Mushrooms – 8 oz, sliced 6. Fresh Spinach – 5 oz 7. Bacon – 5 slices, cooked and crumbled 8. Heavy Cream – 1 1/2 cups 9. Chicken Broth – 1 cup 10. Cream Cheese – 4 oz, softened 11. Parmesan Cheese – 3/4 cup, finely grated 12. Mozzarella Cheese – 1 cup, shredded 13. Italian Seasoning – 2 tsp 14. Garlic Powder – 1 tsp 15. Paprika – 1 tsp 16. Salt – 1 1/2 tsp 17. Black Pepper – 1 tsp 18. Red Pepper Flakes – 1/4 tsp 19. Fresh Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped Recipe 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. 2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. 3. Heat the olive oil and remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate. 4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and tender, allowing excess moisture to evaporate. 5. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. 6. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring until the leaves wilt and become incorporated with the mushrooms. 7. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to enrich the sauce. 8. Stir in the softened cream cheese and Parmesan cheese over medium-low heat until both cheeses melt and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. 9. Add the Italian seasoning, remaining salt, and remaining black pepper, then simmer the sauce gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. 10. Place the seared chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and pour the creamy mushroom and spinach sauce evenly around and over the chicken. 11. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over each chicken breast, then distribute the crumbled cooked bacon evenly across the cheesy topping. 12. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. 13. Switch the oven to broil for 1–2 minutes to brown the mozzarella and bacon lightly, watching closely to prevent burning. 14. Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes so the creamy sauce thickens slightly and the chicken remains juicy. 15. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the chicken with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or warm crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
