  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Bake for 16 minutes. Meanwhile, make the creamed spinach. Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add in the onions and saute 2-3 minutes. Add in the spinach and garlic. It will shrink ridiculously. When it's cooked through, stir in the cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Continue cooking and stirring until the cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat. For the mushrooms, melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Put the mushrooms in and cook until browned all over. Don't season with salt until they are browned or they will never brown. Deglaze the pan with the wine. Add in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until most of the wine is cooked out. Flip the chicken pieces over. Divide the spinach and mushrooms over the top of each breast. Lay two slices of cheese over each piece of chicken. Cook another 12-14 minutes or until cheese is browned and chicken is done.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Spinach Casserole with Mushrooms and Phyllo

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh spinach, mushrooms, and chicken will give your casserole the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Sauté the mushrooms and onions. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality phyllo dough. Phyllo dough that is too thin or too thick will not bake properly.
  • Brush the phyllo dough with butter. This will help to keep it from drying out.
  • Bake the casserole until the phyllo dough is golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion

Chicken spinach casserole with mushrooms and phyllo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal.
