Spinach Artichoke Chicken
A creamy and cheesy dish combining tender chicken with a spinach and artichoke mixture.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish For baking the chicken.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach packed
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (3-4 breasts), lightly pounded to even thickness
- 1 cup freshly grated Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the chopped artichokes, spinach, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic powder.
- Place the chicken breasts side by side in the prepared baking dish. Spread the artichoke mixture evenly on top of each chicken breast. Sprinkle the Mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach at least 155°F.
- Uncover the dish and switch on the broiler. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- If the chicken is below 160°F, return it to the oven for a few more minutes without using the broiler.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the artichoke mixture before spreading it on the chicken.
