this recipe

This one-pan chicken recipe is really good. It has sauteed onions and mushrooms mixed with spinach and goat cheese. If that didn't sound good enough, I topped it all off with parmesan cheese. In total, this takes 40 minutes to make (15 of that is just it baking in the oven). I paired it with green beans for a light dinner.

This recipe was inspired by Ambitious Kitchen's Goat Cheese & Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast. I'm not a huge fan of stuffing chicken, I feel like I get too much chicken and not enough filling. So I modified the recipe by using thinner chicken breast and placing the mushroom, onion, spinach, and goat cheese mixture on top of the chicken. But I couldn't stop there and added parmesan on top of that.

• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Yield: 4 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 tablespoons butter, seperated
• ½ small sweet onion, diced
• 4 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 oz fresh spinach
• 2 oz goat cheese
• 4 6-oz thinly sliced chicken breast
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Melt butter in a large cast ion skillet (or oven-safe skillet*) over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms to the skillet, cook for 3 minutes or until the onions start to brown.
3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add spinach and cook till spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Salt and pepper to taste ( I do ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper)
4. Move vegetables to a bowl with goat cheese, mix until the goat cheese melts, and coats the vegetables.
5. Salt and pepper each side of the chicken breast.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once it has melted add the chicken. Cook on each side till it browns. About 2 minutes for each side
7. Top chicken with the vegetable mixture and sprinkle parmesan on top.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken has reached a temperature of 165F.

Notes

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, do steps 1-6 in a large skillet, place the chicken on a sheet pan, top it with the vegetable mixture and sprinkle parmesan on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
