Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)

Tools You’ll Need

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Small brush (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Place them in the greased baking dish in an even layer.

Step 3: Make the Spinach Artichoke Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well mixed and creamy.

Step 4: Spread the Mixture

Spoon the spinach artichoke mixture evenly over each chicken breast, spreading it to cover the top of the chicken.

Step 5: Top with Cheese

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the spinach artichoke mixture to create a cheesy top layer.

Step 6: Bake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Step 7: Serve

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle. Serve warm with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
