Make this rich and flavorful chicken dish entirely in one skillet. It combines tender chicken breasts with a creamy sauce loaded with spinach and artichoke hearts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts down completely.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the cubed cream cheese until both are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the sauce.
  9. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the skillet mixture.
  10. Place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  11. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can serve this dish over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute half of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a baking dish before broiling the cheese topping.
