A creamy and cheesy chicken bake featuring spinach and artichokes, perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, Greek yogurt, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish.
  4. Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture generously over each chicken breast.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil on top.

  8. Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with hearty vegetables like zucchini or cauliflower. For dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and cheese.
