Cook tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy sauce with spinach and artichoke hearts all in one skillet for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts down into the sauce.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Heat through for 2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for an extra 3-5 minutes before adding the chicken back.
  • You can substitute frozen spinach for fresh, but thaw it completely and squeeze out all excess water before adding.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.
