Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Vegetables

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasoning & Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat Olive Oil: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil until hot but not smoking.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Cook Spinach and Artichokes: Stir in the fresh spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, cooking them until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. Add Vegetable Mixture: Evenly top each chicken breast with the sautéed spinach and artichoke mixture.
  8. Add Goat Cheese: Crumble the goat cheese over the spinach and artichoke topping on each breast.
  9. Bake Chicken: Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  11. Serve: Serve the chicken warm and enjoy this flavorful low carb meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute goat cheese with feta for a similar tangy flavor.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly by using a meat thermometer to reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Fresh spinach can be substituted with baby kale or Swiss chard if desired.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
