Why I Love This Recipe

If spinach artichoke dip is always the first appetizer you reach for, this dinner is going to be right up your alley. Juicy chicken breasts are stuffed with a creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke filling, then baked until perfectly tender and golden. It has all the cozy, comforting flavors of the classic dip, but transforms them into a meal that’s easy enough for a weeknight and impressive enough to serve to guests.

Enjoying The Leftovers

The filling stays just as creamy, making leftovers every bit as satisfying.

Storing

Store the stuffed chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat in a 325°F oven, air fryer, or microwave until warmed through. If reheating in the oven, cover loosely with foil to help keep the chicken juicy.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Spoon the filling evenly into each chicken breast, being careful not to overfill them.
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with avocado oil. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 3 minutes per side, carefully flipping them so the filling stays inside. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite vegetables.
