Spinach Artichoke Chicken makes for a simple, delicious meal that everyone will love.
I made something I think you are going to simply love. This. Spinach Artichoke Chicken.
Oh my goodness gracious is it amazing! Think your favorite spinach artichoke dip all over the top of baked chicken.
Yeah, it really is out of this world.
There’s something so comforting about this spinach artichoke chicken that it has really become one of our favorite ways to eat chicken now. While the ingredients list doesn’t specify, I like to use lower fat ingredients for the topping such as part-skim mozzarella cheese, fat-free Greek yogurt, and a light mayonnaise. Of course, use what you prefer!
And luckily, it is one of the easiest things to make that you can think of!
You just place your chicken into a baking dish, then mix up your spinach artichoke topping and pour it on top. Bake it and then watch it disappear.
How simple is that?
The chicken turns out so flavorful and tender. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
It’s great to get kids to eat their vegetables, too.
Here’s the recipe for my Spinach Artichoke Chicken. It’s a keeper!

I used a whole rotisserie chicken, mixed everything together and baked till heated through. I agree that sautéing the garlic and shallots next time would make the dish even better. But everyone gobbled it up regardless! It will definitely be a regular at our house!
So could you use fresh spinach and wilt it while sauteing the onion and garlic? I’m not a fan of the taste of frozen spinach.
One and half pounds of raw spinach will cook down to one and a half cups and it’s good this way @
I made this last night and it was a hit with the whole family. I was out of parm, so I increased the mozzarella. Next time I’ll make sure I have the parm, because I think it will make it even better! I do think sauteing the shallots and garlic would add a nice depth to the dish, but I didn’t have time and it was very good. I’ll definitely make this again.
I agree
Though it adds an extra step, you really need to sautee the onions and garlic first to soften the flavors. Otherwise, almost tastes like chunks of raw onion and garlic in it. otherwise, great recipe.
When you made the chicken artichoke- spinach casserole did you cut the raw chicken in pieces first or cook the breasts whole? 8 chicken breasts seems like a lot. Is that what you used?
I added potatoes (steamed in the microwave til done) added 1 cup of mayo and greek yogart. Also added some lemon juice.. omg so delicious. If you like sour anyway. So glad i found this recipe. Years ago sams club sold (freezer isle) something similar to this but with potatoes and we fell in love. But you know how it usually goes, they stop selling things that you really like. Anyway followed this direction with baking times and the recipe. Just added a couple of ingredients. Thank you for sharing this. Its delicous!
Hi Mela,
It sounds delicious with the potatoes! I’m so happy you enjoy this! Thanks so much! xo
Love this recipe! I make double the amount of spinach dip so we have leftovers for football games!
Thanks, Kathleen. So glad you like it!
I agree
Congrats on this recipe still circulating Pinterest! BIG Question for anyone who knows artichokes. I found this recipe because I know I will be getting fresh artichokes in my Farmers box this week.
Should I boil the artichokes first before I prepare the recipe? I’ve never had fresh artichokes in my kitchen before.. SOS
Looking forward to trying this out!
This is fabulous. I added mushrooms. I baked potatoes on the side for those who wanted to pour the spinach cheese artichoke sauce. Love it
This recipe is always a hit at my house. We add chopped cooked bacon to the top. It’s so good.
Oh my! The addition of the bacon sounds amazing! xo
I made this today and it was awesome! It is a keeper–although, I goofed and bought fresh spinach instead of frozen. I just sauté it in a little olive oil & coarsely chopped. It was great! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!
WOW, just made this and it is delicious!! perfect, but i will add more cheese next time
This recipe is a winner!!!! The only thing I’d do differently is to cut up the chicken, otherwise delish! Lots of leftovers for lunches, too!
