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!

Hi this looks fab! Was curiois if i could xnay the mayo & double the greek yogurt? Or would that not work
At all? Thank you!
I’ve not tried it that way, Jessica so I can’t say what the final result would be. However, it is definitely worth a try!
Thanks for a great recipe, I used all yogurt, and it was wonderful.
We made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I do have a few questions: What do you mean by 8 chicken breasts? Some people consider one chicken one breast, while others consider that two breasts. How many pounds of chicken, really? How small do you cut the pieces. I think maybe our pieces were too large, because by the allotted time the chicken was still raw. So we put it back in the oven for 22 minutes.
I will make it again, because the taste was amazing!
Wishing you a terrific week… 🙂

Each chicken has two breast, just like women do. Did you cook the chicken by itself for 15 minutes, then added the sauce then cook for another 22 minutes?
This artichoke spinach chicken was fabulous. Just made it tonight n the only thing I added was alittle crushed red pepper.great recipe
What a great idea – thanks for the recipe! I liked it just the way it is, but since I have a hubby and 4 kids, rarely do we come to a consensus. Usually someone has something to suggest.
Next time (oh, there will be a next time!), I will saute the shallots to soften them a bit first. I will add a bit more “wet” ingredients, or just up the amount of greek yogurt. Hubby felt it wasn’t salty enough, but BOO on him because the rest of us don’t have that “need”. 🙂
I enjoyed preparing AND eating it – thank you! All of us enjoyed it, though I can barely count the hubby since he busted out a bag of tortilla chips and dug in. LOL
I have a question. I’m making this tonight for my family. I was wondering, if I were to bake the chicken like you say, then slice it, and make a layer of the dip on the bottom, then the chicken evenly spread out, then another layer of the dip, would it ruin it?
How can I make this for one to two people? Im just learning how to cook…my bf wont probably eat this but I want to.
Split the recipe in half
Made this last night and it was a hit! I used bone-in thighs and cooked them for 25 minutes before adding the dip ingredients. Loved it!
I wonder if I can use all greek yogurt and omit the mayo??
I did it that way, also. It’s in the oven now.
How did it come out with the greek yogurt? I haven’t made it yet but would like to try!
This was great! Used to love making spinach artichoke dip but since I started eating lactopaleo I haven’t made it! I used too much chicken (3.25lbs) and the ratio was a bit off so next time I’ll make sure to use a bit less or add more spinach/artichoke! yum!
I have made this twice now and it is a BIG hit with my picky family (when it comes to trying something new). I also served it to guests and they took about 3 servings so I know they loved it.
I slightly wilted fresh spinach the first time and used fresh ‘unwilted’ the second. Great both times.
Thank you for the recipe!
this looks delicious, I will be trying it tonight! Thanks!
