Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 4 medium breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and arrange them in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth.
  3. Fold in the squeezed-dry spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the spinach artichoke mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Tip 1: For the best results, use freshly grated cheeses as they melt much better than pre-shredded varieties.
Tip 2: Ensure your chicken breasts are an even thickness to promote uniform cooking. You can pound them lightly with a meat mallet if needed.
