If you're looking for a delicious and wholesome meal, Spinach and Mushroom Smothered Grilled Chicken is a perfect choice. This recipe combines tender, juicy grilled chicken breasts covered in a creamy medley of sautéed spinach and mushrooms, topped with melted provolone cheese. Not only is it packed with flavor, but it's also nutritious and relatively easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by lightly seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and set aside.
- While the chicken is grilling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped green onion stalks to the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and continue to cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler. Arrange the grilled chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
- Evenly divide the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture over each chicken breast.
- Top each chicken breast with provolone cheese.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Transfer the spinach and mushroom smothered grilled chicken to serving plates.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are of similar thickness for even cooking.
- Sauté the spinach and mushrooms until they release their moisture and the liquid evaporates to avoid soggy toppings.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and your favorite herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Use a grill pan if you don't have an outdoor grill. Cook the chicken on medium-high heat until it's thoroughly done.
- Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before smothering it with the spinach and mushroom mix to retain its juices.
- Feel free to add garlic or onion powder to the spinach and mushroom mixture for added depth of flavor.
Spinach and Mushroom Smothered Grilled Chicken is a versatile and mouth-watering dish that can be enjoyed for dinner any day of the week. The combination of tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and creamy cheese makes it a crowd-pleaser. Pair it with a side of your choice, and you have a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
