Smothered Chicken with Creamed Spinach, Bacon, and Mushrooms

6. Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed cauliflower, or a light green salad.

Variants :

  • Cheese Options: Swap Pepper Jack for Swiss, mozzarella, or sharp cheddar if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Protein Options: Replace chicken with turkey cutlets or pork chops for a twist.
  • Vegetarian Option: Use large portobello mushrooms as the base instead of chicken.
  • Add a Kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the spinach for a bit of spice.

Tips :

  • Perfect Caramelization: Don’t salt the mushrooms while cooking to ensure they caramelize properly.
  • Prevent Dry Chicken: Partially cooking the chicken ensures it remains juicy and tender after the final bake.
  • Low-Carb Sides: Pair with steamed broccoli, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles for a keto-friendly meal.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the spinach and mushrooms ahead of time for a quicker assembly.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
