Ingredients

  • 4 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 12 oz prepared Italian salad dressing
  • 1 tsp Mediterranean Herb or Rotisserie chicken seasoning
  • 16 oz sliced mushrooms cremini, button, portabella [your preference]
  • 3 green onion thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp butter or light butter
  • salt and black pepper
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes [more or less to your taste]
  • 12 oz baby spinach
  • 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in a large plastic storage bag and pour Italian dressing on top. Place into the fridge and marinate overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Season the chicken on both sides with Mediterranean Herb or Rotisserie chicken seasoning.
  • Drizzle a large oven safe skillet with olive oil and add 2 Tbsp of butter. (or light butter)
  • Sear the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the juices run clear. Adjust the time based on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Remove to a platter, cover and keep warm.
  • In the same pan saute the mushrooms over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes then add the sliced green onions and minced garlic. Add additional olive oil, if needed. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste.
  • To the pan add the Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes. Cook for around 2-3 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
  • Add the baby spinach. Saute until the spinach wilts and the juice evaporates.
  • Return chicken to pan and spoon sauteed vegetables on top of chicken pieces. Sprinkle each with Asiago cheese. Season with additional Mediterranean Herb or Rotisserie chicken seasoning, if desired.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven. Broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To lighten up these chicken breasts omit the butter and use less oil.
  • You can also use light or fat free Italian dressing
