Ingredients

1.5 lbs. raw chicken breast, chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 yellow onion, chopped 160g
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips 200g
1 green bell pepper, cut into slices 130g
1 package of frozen spinach, defrosted (10 oz. package) and water drained
2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms 160g
1 can 98% fat free condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5oz can
1 cup non fat sour cream 250g
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. paprika
salt and pepper

Instructions

Pre heat the oven to 375. Slice and chop your veggies. Add the frozen spinach to a bowl of hot water (keep in the packaging) to let thaw while you cook your veggies.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add butter to melt. Once the butter has melted add garlic, peppers, onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook. Allow to cook until the onions are translucent and peppers begin to soften. Approx. 5-10 minutes. Add thawed and drained spinach. To drain the water from the spinach just simply squeeze it out of the bag. Be careful though the bag can pop and a disaster follows. Mix the spinach in with the vegetables.
While the vegetables cook, cut your chicken into bite sized pieces. Alternatively, for tracking purposes, you can cut your chicken into 4 oz. cutlets and place on top at the end to cook vs. mixed in with the vegetables.
When the vegetables are done, add cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, paprika, salt and pepper. I have left salt and pepper to your discretion, you can always add to the meal if needed.
Once the mixture is well mixed, add your raw chicken and mix well to combine.
Spray and baking dish with non stick spray and add the mixture to the dish. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
If you place the chicken on top vs. mixed it be sure to cook until the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve alone, over noodles, zoodles, rice or cauliflower rice.
Enjoy and let me know how you like it!

This looks amazing! One question though, what is 281 grams in cups?

  I’m not sure, maybe around 1.5. If you’re not measuring / tracking – it’s 6 servings so you can just split the dish by 6.

So excited to make it! I’m tracking my macros. How much spinach? The store I’m shopping at has several size options

I made this recipe last night and, oh my gosh it was AMAZING!!!! The only thing I did different is that I seasoned the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and just a smidge of poultry seasoning and then pan fried them in cooking spray. When almost cooked through I added the butter and vegetables with the minced garlic added at the end so as not to burn. I served over rice. This will definitely be on repeat. Thanks for an awesome recipe!!!!!

This looks delish! I’m not a huge fan of sour cream, so I would maybe substitute with Greek yogurt, or just omit.

I am not sure why it took me so long to try this one. Another easy, delicious go-to recipe! Ate it plain the first night, and then put the leftovers on top of Barilla Protein Rigatoni the next day. Chefs kiss!
