Spinach and Artichoke Dip Chicken is an easy casserole recipe made with chicken breasts and a creamy, yet low-fat, spinach and artichoke dip.
One of my all-time favorite dips is Spinach and Artichoke Dip, but I rarely have an excuse to make it without having a party or potluck to attend…until now!
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Chicken is chicken breasts smothered in a thick and cheesy spinach and artichoke dip mixture then baked until hot and bubbly.
This easy chicken casserole recipe is NOT to be missed!
While the topping is delicious enough to dip into on its own with chips or crackers, you can practice some restraint by enjoying it over moist and juicy chicken breasts, which make the recipe less of a dip, and more of a meal. This dish is a bit of a splurge but so, so worth it. Company-worthy, too!

Pin ItStar by slicing 1lb chicken breasts in half then season both sides with salt and pepper and place into a nonstick-sprayed 1-1/4 – 2 quart baking dish.
Next melt 1 Tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat then add 1 large minced shallot, season with salt and pepper, then saute until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and saute for 30 more seconds.
To the skillet, add 6oz 1/3 less-fat cream cheese and 6oz plain Greek yogurt.
Stir until the cream cheese has melted then remove the skillet from the heat and fold in 1-14oz can quartered artichoke hearts that’s been drained, 1-10oz package frozen spinach that’s been thawed and squeezed dry in a kitchen towel, and 1/4 cup each grated parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
Spoon the mixture over the seasoned chicken breasts then cover with a piece of nonstick sprayed foil and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
Remove the foil then sprinkle 1/4 cup more of each parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top, and then bake for 10 more minutes uncovered, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes, then dig in, and eat up!
Cheesy, delicious, SPECIAL, and so scrumptious — I hope you love every last drop!

I am a chipoholic as well – we don’t keep them in the house as I have no self control! This chicken recipe is going on the menu for this weekend – my mouth is watering!!
This is absolute perfection! :)
I love turning dips into full-fledged meals (I do that with buffalo chicken dip a LOT)! And while I don’t like spinach or artichokes individually, I love spinach-artichoke dip, and I love that your recipe doesn’t include mayo (which I hate). I’m going to have to try this sometime soon!
Brilliant! I’ll take any excuse to make more spin dip!
I love spinach and artichoke dip and adding chicken is a great addition to turn it into a meal!
Spinach and artichoke dip is my moms favorite, and she is going to go crazy with this recipe. I just emailed it to her and I got a yahoo!! back. Thanks for helping make dinner tonight!
Yum! Neat idea! I must also mention that I probably love CHIPS as much as you do…only my boyfriend’s pet peeve (it’s actually bordering on crazy lol) is the sound of people crunching chips! wahhh!
I think I just found my new favorite dinner.
Yum! This looks delicious!
Gah! I had gum-chewing, too. My boyfriend never usuall does it but he got in the car chewing gum the other day and I totally over-reacted – ‘WHAT are you doing???’.
*hate* !
