Description

Spinach Artichoke Chicken Bake is a creamy, comforting dinner loaded with tender chicken, artichoke hearts, fresh spinach, and bursts of red pepper, all baked in a savory, herby sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or substitute kale, Swiss chard, etc.)

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • ¾ tsp salt (or to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, artichoke hearts, red bell pepper, onion, spinach, and parmesan cheese (if using).

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  4. Pour sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.

  5. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.

  6. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbling.

  7. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if desired. Serve warm!

Notes

Swap spinach for kale, Swiss chard, or other greens if preferred.
Omit parmesan for a dairy-free version.
Chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juiciness.
Great for meal prep and reheats well!
