Frequently Asked Questions

For a vegetarian version, stick with plant-based chicken. If you prefer real chicken, ensure it's pre-cooked and sliced thinly, as raw chicken won't cook through in under 15 minutes.

Bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes are great additions and can be roasted alongside the mushrooms.

Most store-bought plant-based chicken is pre-cooked and just needs heating, making it perfect for this quick sheet-pan meal.

Toss the spinach into the hot pan just after roasting, allowing it to wilt gently without becoming too wet.
