Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, and basil.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Melt butter in the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and browned.
Stir in fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan, and chicken broth until smooth.
Layer the spinach and mushroom mixture in a baking dish, place seared chicken on top, and pour sauce evenly over.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and sauce is bubbling.
Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden top.

Notes

For a variation, use avocado oil instead of olive oil for searing.
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth sauce mixing.
Experiment with different cheese types for added flavor.
