    Chicken with mushrooms and spinach in a cast iron skillet. 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.

    Do you have questions?

    Can I make this if I don't have an oven-safe skillet?

    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.

    Watch how it's made…

    • Yield: 4 Servings 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 tablespoons butter, seperated
    • ½ small sweet onion, diced
    • 4 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 garlic cloves, minced
    • 6 oz fresh spinach

    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
