If you love Spinach and Artichoke dip, you’ll go bonkers over this meal version! Tender roasted chicken breasts are smothered with a creamy spinach artichoke topping, delivering a mouthful of cheesy chicken goodness.
This recipe takes relatively little effort, but the end result tastes like you’ve spent all day preparing it. The chicken is so moist and delicious, and the velvety spinach artichoke topping is perfection.
Doesn’t it look tasty? If you have a few extra calories to spend, I’d recommend serving the finished chicken breast inside a toasted baguette or sandwich roll…it’s so yummy!
An easier alternative to Spinach and Artichoke stuffed chicken breasts, my effortless version takes less time and hassle, but delivers an even more delicious dish.

Hi. What “sauce” are you referring to after we sauté the spinach and garlic?
Nancy7 years ago
I’m confused about step 3. It says add spinach,garlic & sauce. What sauce are you referring to?
Sorry if it’s a stupid question.
