Ingredients Overview
As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need. To get the complete recipe and instructions just keep scrolling.
- Chicken Breast: small to medium size breast work best for this recipe.
- Canned Artichokes: if you can only find marinated artichokes rinse them off before chopping, just so the flavor is not overwhelming.
- Spinach: I use freshly chopped spinach for this recipe, but you can use frozen as long as you remove all moisture.
- Parmesan, Mozzarella and Cream Cheese: this trio creates the perfect flavor combination.
- Spices: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
- In a small bowl combine the chopped artichokes, chopped spinach, parmesan, mozzarella and softened cream cheese, set aside.
- Slice each chicken breast lengthwise so that the breast folds open (be sure not to slice all the way through)
- Spread the spinach artichoke mixture on one side of the chicken and fold the other side over, secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Lightly sprinkle the seasoning mixture on each side.
- Place in a greased baking dish. Bake 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve
This is such a great dish that goes well with many flavors. One of my favorite low carb side dishes are these Crispy Zucchini Fries. They are an excellent sub for traditional fries. I love to dip mine in low carb ranch dressing. Some other great side dishes include:
How do you butterfly chicken breast?
Place a chicken breast on a cutting board and using a very sharp knife cut through the chicken breast horizontally about 3/4 of the way though. Fold open the top half of the chicken so that it opens like a butterfly.
Each side of the chicken breast should be equally thin so it cooks evenly. This is an excellent method to stuff chicken with any of your favorite fillings.
Do I need to beat the chicken breast before cutting?
If you feel like your chicken breast is too thick or not evenly cut, so one side is significantly thicker than the other, you can pound it flat. Place the cut between plastic wrap and lightly pound until it is a more uniform size.
