Keto Spinach-Artichoke Chicken Bake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Keto Spinach-Artichoke Chicken Bake.

1. Step 1

   Start by warming the frozen spinach in a medium bowl in the microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes, just until it's heated through.

2. Step 2

   Once it's warm, let it cool for a moment, then give it a good squeeze to remove any excess moisture.

3. Step 3

   Now, return the spinach to the bowl and mix in the softened cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

4. Step 4

   This creamy, flavorful mixture is going to be the star of your dish, so set it aside for now.

5. Step 5

   Next, take your chicken breasts and gently pound them to an even thickness, aiming for about 1 inch.

6. Step 6

   This helps them cook evenly, ensuring a juicy result.

7. Step 7

   Season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

8. Step 8

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for the magic to happen.

9. Step 9

   In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.

10. Step 10

    Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts and brown them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

11. Step 11

    If your skillet is small, don’t hesitate to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

12. Step 12

    Once browned, transfer the chicken to a large baking dish, where they’ll soak up all the delicious flavors.

13. Step 13

    Now, take that luscious spinach-artichoke mixture and spread it evenly over the top of each chicken breast, creating a beautiful layer of goodness.

14. Step 14

    Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

15. Step 15

    You’ll know it’s done when the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).

16. Step 16

    For the grand finale, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and return it to the oven for just 1 to 2 more minutes, until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly.
