Spinach & Artichoke Chicken
This Skinny Spinach & Artichoke Chicken turns your favorite indulgent dip into a healthy meal with all the rich, creamy, cheesy taste you love.
Ingredients
- 8 (4 oz each) raw boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets, (2 lbs total weight)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 14 oz can artichokes , packed in water-based brine not oil, chopped
- 10 oz package of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, the kind that comes in a shaker
- ½ cup shredded 2% Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly mist a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Lay the chicken breast cutlets across the bottom of the dish in a single layer (see photo above). Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper and place them in the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
- While the chicken bakes, combine the yogurt and softened cream cheese in a large bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir together until everything is well mixed.
- Remove the chicken from the oven after the 15 minutes (it will not be fully cooked yet). If the chicken has released a lot of excess liquid at this point then drain it out or soak it up with paper towels and discard. Using a large spoon or a spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken in a nice thick layer. Place the dish back into the oven and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
