Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 4 oz  cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen, drained)
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts (chopped)
  • ½–1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt, pepper, onion powder

Method
 

  1. Step 1 – Prep the Chicken
    First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Next, pat the chicken dry and season it evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    If you want deeper flavor, you can also sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side before baking.
  2. Step 2 – Make the Creamy Mixture
    Then, combine the following in a bowl:
    Cream cheese
    Sour cream or yogurt
    Garlic and spices
    Most of the cheese (save some for topping)
    After that, fold in the spinach and artichokes.
    At this stage, the mixture should be thick and spreadable—not runny.
  3. Step 3 – Assemble
    Now, place the chicken in a baking dish.
    Then, spread the mixture evenly over each piece. Don’t hold back here—this is where most of the flavor comes from.
    Finally, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  4. Step 4 – Bake
    Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
    For a golden finish, you can broil it for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  5. Step 5 – Rest
    After baking, let the dish rest for about 5 minutes.
    This allows the juices to settle and improves the overall texture.
