  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs, boneless skinless)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Spinach Artichoke Mixture

  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for creamier texture)
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach (finely chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Baking

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: To the bowl with the chicken, add 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup drained and chopped artichoke hearts, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together well until all components are thoroughly combined.
  3. Prepare the Baking Pan: Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into a 9×13-inch baking pan to coat the bottom evenly. Then, add the chicken mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  4. Bake the Chicken Mixture: Place the baking pan uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Ensure that the chicken is cooked through and reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Serve and Garnish: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and serve hot. For an added touch, garnish with additional fresh spinach if desired. Enjoy your delicious spinach artichoke chicken bake!

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat cottage cheese.
  • Make sure to drain and chop the artichoke hearts to avoid excess moisture.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it’s fully cooked.
  • Feel free to garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh spinach for presentation.
