1/2 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
8 oz sliced mushrooms
3 cups packed fresh spinach
1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper from a jar, diced
1 7 ounce tub Arla Original cream cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 slices thin cut cheese such as Arla Medium Cheddar, Fontina, Muenster, Gouda, or Havarti

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in baking dish and sprinkle each side with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the topping, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and spray with cooking spray. Add in the onions and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, and until the onion starts to brown. Add in the mushrooms and 1/2 cup water. Cook until mushrooms are tender and water is cooked off, stirring occasionally (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the spinach and an additional 1/4 cup water. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until spinach is tender and the water is cooked off completely.
Turn off heat and stir in the roasted red pepper, cream cheese and parmesan cheese.
Remove the chicken from the oven and flip the chicken breasts over. Divide the mushroom and spinach mixture over each chicken breast. Top each breast with a slice of cheese.
Cook an additional 5-10 minutes (depending on thickness) and until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and enjoy with vegetables or a side of choice!
