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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and baby spinach, and cook until the spinach wilts.
- 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.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve the Chicken Surprise hot, alongside your favorite side dishes.
