Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3-4 chicken breasts)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • a pinch salt
  • a pinch pepper
  • 2 oz fresh baby spinach
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
  • 8.5 oz sun-dried tomatoes (drained with 1 tbsp oil reserved, and chopped)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Serving dish

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of the reserved olive oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Pour in ¼ cup of chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits. Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the remaining chicken broth, and add the grated mozzarella. Cover and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional sun-dried tomatoes or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use grilled or sautéed shrimp instead of chicken for a seafood twist.
  • Substitute kale or Swiss chard for spinach for a heartier green.
  • Try using feta cheese instead of mozzarella for a tangy flavor.
