Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet heat ½ tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add half of the spinach, salt, and pepper. Stir until the spinach is wilted. Continue to add handfuls of spinach until all spinach is wilted. TIP: Placing a lid over the skillet helps the spinach cook down faster.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the artichokes and cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in both mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Step 4
Place butterflied chicken breasts (see recipe notes) on the prepared baking sheet. On top of each chicken breast drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and paprika. Use your hands to spread olive oil and seasonings evenly over the top of chicken breasts.
Step 5
Open the chicken and evenly divide spinach artichoke filling. Close the chicken (like a closing a book), and bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts. For best results, use a thermometer to make sure chicken reaches a temperature of 165ºF.
