• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

• 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced

• 2 cups fresh spinach

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)

   In the same pan, add mushrooms and garlic. Cook 3–4 minutes until mushrooms are soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted.

4. Make the Creamy Mix:
   Stir in heavy cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, and thyme. Mix until the cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.

5. Combine Everything:
