Spinach Artichoke Chicken Breasts

In this household, we LOVE anything that involves the combo of spinach and artichokes. From my healthy Baked Chicken with Spinach and Artichokes Recipe to my not so healthy Spinach Artichoke Pasta Alfredo Casserole, it is one of our favorite meal concoctions that we go back to time and time again.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN BREASTS IN A SKILLET

  • We add our chicken breasts to a hot oiled skillet and cook until done; remove chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.
  • Follow up with a bit of butter and garlic, then deglaze the skillet with either wine or chicken broth – your choice. (Wine, please! )
  • Add chopped marinated artichokes to the skillet; cook for a couple minutes and stir in baby spinach. Cook for a minute or two before pouring in some half & half (or cream, or whole milk) AND cheese.
  • Transfer chicken breasts back into the skillet; cook for several minutes and serve.

Simple, SO darn tasty, and very satisfying. You’ll see.

I like to serve it with a big side of my Radish and Cucumber Salad, but my husband prefers a big bowl of pasta. The choice is yours, but the salad will help balance things out.
