Preheat the oven:

Prepare the chicken:
Arrange the thin-sliced chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season lightly with pepper and herb & garlic seasoning. -
Sauté the vegetables:
In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms until soft and lightly browned. Add the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat. -
Make the sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine the green onion cream cheese and chicken broth. Stir over low heat until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. -
Assemble the dish:

Bake:

Serve:
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish pairs beautifully with a light green salad or steamed vegetables.
