Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts (6–8 oz each)
- 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, mix spinach, yogurt, artichokes, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until combined.
- Place chicken breasts in a single layer in a 9×13 baking dish.
- Evenly spread the spinach mixture over each chicken breast.
- Top each piece with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This is a lighter version, so it won’t be as rich as traditional spinach artichoke dip—but still delicious!
Expect some liquid in the pan after baking due to the spinach and chicken juices. Use a slotted spoon to serve.
If using large chicken breasts, slice them in half to create cutlets for even cooking.
