Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the squeezed dry spinach and chopped artichoke hearts. Cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  9. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

Notes

  • To make the sauce thicker, simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the chicken back in.
  • For a thinner sauce, incorporate a little extra chicken broth or milk while stirring the cream cheese.
  • You can shred the cooked chicken and stir it into the sauce for an even creamier texture.
