Spinach Artichoke Chicken
Spinach Artichoke Chicken is a lighter version of your favorite spinach artichoke dip made with Greek yogurt for an impressive and easy dinner!
On Thanksgiving morning at 5:20 AM, my dad, husband and I arrived to Meijer for some Black Friday shopping. The main thing that we were looking for unfortuntely sold out before we could buy it (people were camped out since 10 PM according to store staff) but I did well with some other Christmas shopping for Adalyn and getting a few other things.
My dad and I were racing around looking for deals when he saw a really nice display of pickled vegetables and that reminded me, I needed to get ingredients for spinach artichoke chicken that I was making. I chose a can of artichokes, got my chicken, frozen spinach and Greek yogurt for my recipe- all before 6 AM. That was a little crazy!
This recipe is perfect for the holiday season to serve guests. It is impressive with the spinach artichoke dip, is easy and actually quite healthy with nutrient rich spinach and a lightened up sauce with the addition of plain Greek yogurt. Oh yeah, and it is delicious!
I love that it only uses one skillet for easy cleanup. My family LOVES spinach artichoke dip and I was determined to find a healthier way to make it. This is the way! It can be eaten with a side of rice or orzo pasta for a complete meal. Also delicious is any kind of potato paired with the spinach artichoke chicken. My whole family loved this recipe so much and I would definitely make it again. It would also be good baked in the oven instead of in the pan.

I always like recipes that can be made in one skillet. This makes clean up so much easier! #client
