A delicious and healthy Spinach and Mushroom Smothered Chicken recipe featuring grilled chicken breasts topped with sautéed mushrooms, green onions, spinach, and pecans, finished with melted provolone cheese for a satisfying low-carb meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables & Nuts

  • 1-3/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Protein

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Other

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon rotisserie chicken seasoning
  • 2 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese, halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill or Broiler: Prepare your grill or broiler for cooking by heating it to medium for grilling or positioning the rack about 4 inches from the broiler heat source. Make sure to grease the grill rack or broiler pan.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and green onions and sauté until they become tender and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add Spinach and Pecans: Stir in the fresh baby spinach and chopped pecans, cooking just until the spinach wilts. Remove this mixture from heat and keep it warm while you cook the chicken.
  4. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast half evenly with the rotisserie chicken seasoning to add flavor.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill rack or greased broiler pan. Grill covered over medium heat or broil about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Add Cheese and Melt: Top each cooked chicken breast with halved slices of reduced-fat provolone cheese. Return to grill or broiler and cook until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Plate the chicken breasts and generously spoon the warm mushroom, spinach, and pecan mixture over the top. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Using fresh vegetables will provide the best flavor and texture.
  • If grilling isn’t available, broiling is an effective alternative.
