Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Hearty portobello mushrooms filled with a creamy chicken and veggie mix that makes a perfect low carb dinner.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about a stuffed mushroom, especially when it is packed with melted cheese and tender chicken. This recipe is one of my favorite ways to turn leftover chicken into a meal that feels special without much effort at all.
I love these because they are naturally low in carbs but feel very filling. If you want a little extra color, try using both red and green bell peppers in the mixture. It is a simple dish that always hits the spot on a busy weeknight.

These taste best right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them in the oven or air fryer to keep the mushrooms from getting too soggy.
