3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients: dice chicken into bite-sized pieces, chop onion finely, and slice mushrooms.
In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté onions until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add diced chicken to the pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook until just browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in sliced mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer; cover partially and cook for about 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Stir in cream cheese until fully melted. Add fresh spinach just before serving.
