I love making a new chicken dish! Especially one that comes out so juicy and tasty! If you like spinach artichoke dip, this dish is for you! I have a little secret too! This dish can easily be made with store bought spinach and artichoke dip for a super quick meal! I actually tried it both ways and I’ll be honest they were both just as good!
Try this recipe whichever way you’d like, but just TRY it!
Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Chicken
Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts or boneless & skinless thighs
1 T olive oil
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Topping:
Home made Recipe below or store bought spinach artichoke dip
8 oz frozen spinach, defrosted
1 can artichokes, drained and coarsely chopped
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Romano or parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 t salt
1 t pepper
Directions: Preheat oven 375. In a medium bowl add in the chopped artichokes and spinach (note: make sure to squeeze the spinach to drain out all the liquid.) Add in the cream cheese, mayo, cheese and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.
Heat a medium sauté pan on medium high heat. Add in oil and heat 2 minutes. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and brown on both sides. Brown in batches if needed. Remove from pan and add to a oven safe baking dish.


Add a large spoonful of the spinach mixture to each piece of chicken and spread evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella. Bake in the oven 20-30 minutes depending on chicken thickness. The chicken is cooked when it reaches 165. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving!
