“This is one of those dinners that does not take long to put together and that your guests think you spent hours preparing! The best part is that it is low carb, so it is accept- able with the people trying to stay on the healthy track.” — Valerie and Paul Kelley
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, arrange the chicken evenly in a single layer. Top each breast with spinach, followed by mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, oil and chicken broth until smooth. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Place a piece of foil over the baking dish but do not seal the edges.
4. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 min- utes more. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top and bake until the cheese starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
