Cheesy Chicken & Artichoke Bake
I will admit, dinner planning is one of my least favorite things. I understand it’s not rocket science, but you know what? It might as well be. At least in my house. Everyone is very vocal about when they DON’T like something, but when I am looking for ideas, suddenly the people of my house know no other word except taco. I could, seriously, serve tacos every night of the week and I doubt I would ever get a complaint. Like, I make chili twice in one month and everyone groans, CHILI AGAINNNNN??? But tacos every other night? No problemo.
WHAT IS THE MAGIC OF THE TACO?
Anyhow, the point I am getting at, is planning dinners can be tough. But this Chicken and Artichoke Bake has quickly become a family favorite.
I’ll be honest, I have one kiddo who claims, “he isn’t a fan of artichokes”, but we will be putting him up for adoption next week, so that won’t be an issue for very long.
But I’m all about an easy, chicken dish with tons of flavor that is low-carb as a side-note. Let’s do this thing.
The prep time is super quick, and you can easily serve this with a side salad, or with pasta.
You’ve got sour cream and Italiany spices…
Also, did I mention there is a lot of cheese involved? Cream Cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella please and thank you.
And you just drain and chop some marinated artichoke hearts! YUMMMM!
Mix that all together and spread it on top of some boneless, skinless chicken breasts!
Then bake it!
Hey gorgeous.
Be prepared to fall in LOVE with this easy chicken dinner. It might even take the place of taco night once in a while…or maybe that’s just wishful thinking!

Do you put foil on before putting in the oven or bake without?
Bake it uncovered 🙂
I cannot wait to try this. Although I still get freaked out with putting food on raw chicken but it sounds amazing
haha! I totally get it!
Did you cover the chicken with foil?
Loved this! My whole family loved it! I have 3 kids from 9 to 21, it was a hit with everyone. It is really good and easy to make. I doubled the recipe because i have boys who like to eat a lot and that was a perfect amount! Chicken was juicy and the mixture of artichoke and cheese just make this phenomenal, This is definitely a keeper!
I added chicken stock, white onion, geeen onion, green olives and capers. Added goat cheese, feta and mozzarella cheese at the end.
great additions!!
This was quick and delicious…another five star recipe. (And it tastes just as good if you sub a bag of frozen artichoke hearts for the marinated ones.)
Great tip!!
The whole family enjoyed this and has already requested it again. This recipe is a keeper!
Thanks
so glad you liked it!
