Spinach Artichoke Chicken Bake (Printable)

Tender chicken topped with creamy spinach and artichoke mixture, baked until golden and bubbly. Ready in 45 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Spinach & Artichoke Topping

04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably whole milk)
09 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
12 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02 - Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
03 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
04 - In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, Greek yogurt, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
05 - Spread the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
06 - Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
07 - Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt keeps everything creamy while packing in extra protein so you stay satisfied longer
  • This comes together in under 15 minutes of active prep then the oven does all the work
02 -
  • Thicker chicken breasts might need an extra five minutes so use a meat thermometer to hit 165°F at the thickest part
  • The topping will seem loose before baking but it firms up beautifully in the oven so do not worry
03 -
  • Pound the thicker end of your chicken breasts lightly so they cook evenly without drying out
  • Run your baking dish under the broiler for two minutes at the end if you want extra golden spots
