Looking for a dinner that's deliciously satisfying and easy to make? Try our Spinach Artichoke Chicken Recipe!
With juicy chicken thighs seared to perfection and a creamy, cheesy sauce featuring Italian seasonings, artichoke hearts, and fresh spinach, it's a dish you'll crave again and again. Ready in just one skillet, this recipe guarantees minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add some olive oil, and sear the chicken thighs until they are golden brown on both sides.
Turn the heat down to medium and add the orzo, artichoke hearts, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth to the pan. Stir well and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes until the orzo is tender. Once the orzo has cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Meanwhile, use a fork to incorporate the room-temperature cream cheese into the heavy cream (lumps are okay). Because the cream cheese is at room temperature, it should melt smoothly into the broth, creating a creamy base for the dish.
Scatter the spinach over the chicken and orzo, then replace the lid and let it wilt for 2-3 minutes. Spinach wilts quickly, so this step doesn’t take long.
Once the spinach is mixed in with the orzo, return the chicken the pan. The vibrant green of the spinach will add a beautiful contrast to the creamy sauce and golden chicken.
Now that your Spinach Artichoke Chicken is cooked and the flavors have melded together, it’s time for the finishing touches. If you like, sprinkle grated parmesan over the top for an extra layer of savory goodness.
