This time of year everything gets so busy and fast paced. That is why this Spinach Artichoke Smothered Chicken is so perfect. You can get a nutritious dinner on the table without any fuss. Bonus points for it not being the usual boring baked chicken.
We are all worried about feeding our families food that will nourish them. After my recent trip to the Earthbound Farm Organic farms I am thinking about food in an entirely different way.
Earthbound Farm Baby Spinach used in this Spinach Artichoke Smothered Chicken is so tasty.
The spinach is the star of this recipe and the artichoke hearts are a strong side kick. And who doesn’t love melty cheese!?!?
When I began creating this recipe it started as a stuffed chicken breast. Have you ever made a stuffed chicken breast? It is a huge hassle! It’s difficult to keep the filling inside and there is just not enough filling for my tastes.
So I decided to try just topping chicken breast with the “filling”. So much easier and you can really load it up with spinach, artichokes and cheese this way. Win/Win.
This Spinach Artichoke Smothered Chicken is wonderful served with salad, rice or pasta. It will go with just about any side dish you can think of.
It is sure to be a hit with the family and get the little ones to eat their greens.

3242 calories for a chicken breast with cheese, artichoke and spinach??? No thanks!!
The way I have the amount of chicken written on the recipe must’ve been confusing the program that calculates nutritional info. It’s fixed now. Calorie crisis averted.
What do you mean by “marinaded” artichoke heart? I’ve never fixed artichokes before.
This recipe is out of this world delicious. I’ve made it several times. On occasion have substituted Arugula for the Spinach because that is what I had on hand and it was still amazing!
Good question! Did you get an answer?
Marinated artichoke hearts come in a jar and are marinated in seasonings and oil.
