Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 4 large breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 14 oz canned artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
  • 10 oz fresh spinach wilted (or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, then arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, onion powder, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and wilted spinach into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Spread the spinach artichoke mixture evenly over each chicken breast in the baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, provolone, and the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 165°F) and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: For the best results, use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheeses often have anti-caking agents that can prevent them from melting as smoothly.
Tip 2: If using frozen spinach, it is critical to thaw it and squeeze out all excess moisture to prevent a watery sauce.
Tip 3: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
