👉 WW tip: Use reduced-fat cream cheese & part-skim mozzarella for fewer points.

👩‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-Step Overview)

  1. Preheat Oven → 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish.

  2. Layer Veggies → Spread spinach and mushrooms evenly on the bottom of the dish.

  3. Season Chicken → Rub chicken with olive oil, pepper, and garlic-herb seasoning. Lay chicken breasts on top of the veggies.

  4. Make Sauce → In a small saucepan, warm cream cheese with chicken broth until smooth. Pour evenly over the chicken.

  5. Top & Bake → Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temp and cheese is golden.

  6. Serve → Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

📝 Author Note

This recipe is one of my go-to weeknight bakes. My kids call it “pizza chicken” because of the cheesy topping, and I love that it sneaks in a bunch of veggies without anyone complaining. I usually double the batch and freeze half for those busy soccer nights when I need dinner on the table fast.
