Instructions

Saut Spinach and Garlic

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the spinach and garlic, stirring until the spinach wilts—this usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes. Once cooked, drain the mixture well and press out any extra moisture, then transfer it to a bowl. Stir in the artichoke hearts, mayo, Parmesan, and feta until everything is nicely combined.

Bake Chicken with Topping

Place your chicken breasts in a baking dish (around 9x12 inches) without greasing it first. Spread the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly over the top of each piece. Pop the dish in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese topping starts to turn golden, roughly 25 to 30 minutes. When it’s done, carefully pour off any liquid from the pan.

Broil Until Golden

Now, move an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and turn the broiler on. Slide the baking dish under the broiler for a few minutes—about 2 to 5—until the cheese topping gets a nice, bubbly brown finish. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn! Once done, let it cool for a minute, then serve and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple mixed green salad for a complete meal. A dollop of garlic butter or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top can add extra richness. This dish also pairs nicely with cauliflower rice for a full keto-friendly plate.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken tender. You can also freeze portions for up to 2 months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
