This dish is one of my favorites to throw together during the busy workweek because it tastes like you’ve spent hours preparing and cooking it, but it’s so FAST and easy to throw together. It’s a one-skillet dish, so it saves on clean-up time too.

How to Make Artichoke Spinach Skillet Chicken

For this recipe, you’ll use two to four chicken breasts, about 6 ounces per person. So just adjust the amount of chicken according to the number of people you’re wanting to feed or the amount of pre-planned leftovers you need for upcoming meals.

Generously season the raw chicken breast on both sides with salt, pepper, and oregano. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil, then add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side.

Melt the butter in the hot skillet, stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in baby spinach, chopped artichokes, and diced fire-roasted tomatoes and cook, covered, until spinach starts to wilt. Grate some fresh parmesan or Asiago cheese over the top, allow it to melt, then serve immediately.

  1. I’m going to try this recipe tonight, but reading through it, I need mozzarella cheese and it doesn’t say that in the ingredients, or the amount. Lucky I have some, but you might want to adjust the recipe

    Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe! I loved that it used simple ingredients but had restaurant-quality taste. I added a bit of crushed red pepper for some spice, and it really complemented the flavors. For anyone else making this, it pairs really well with rice or a side of garlic bread. Does anyone have tips for making the sauce thicker?
