Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
  5. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  6. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  7. Stir in the diced tomatoes and baby spinach, and cook until the spinach wilts.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Serve the Chicken Surprise hot, alongside your favorite side dishes.
