Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add spinach and artichoke hearts, cooking until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir in the spinach and artichoke mixture until creamy and well combined.
- Place the cooked chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy every cheesy, delicious bite!
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Swap in Greek yogurt for sour cream if you want a lighter option.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- This dish pairs beautifully with roasted veggies or a simple green salad.
