- In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing them to caramelize. Avoid salting the mushrooms to ensure proper caramelization.
5. Assemble the Dish:
- Remove the chicken breasts from the oven after the initial baking time.
- Top each chicken breast with a generous amount of creamed spinach, followed by chopped bacon, caramelized mushrooms, and a slice of Pepper Jack cheese.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
- For an extra crispy cheese topping, broil for the last 2-4 minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions:
