Tips:

Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a mix of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing and they won't develop their full flavor.
Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help them to brown and caramelize without burning.
Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Add the chicken to the pan once the mushrooms are cooked. This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking.
Use a good quality white wine. This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
Don't boil the wine. Bring it to a simmer and then reduce it by half.
Add the cream and cheese to the pan once the wine has reduced. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful sauce.
Stir in the spinach at the end. This will help to wilt the spinach and add a pop of color to the dish.
