Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts about 3 to 4 chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 (13.5-ounce) cans quartered artichoke hearts drained and excess liquid gently squeezed out
- 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach roughly chopped
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan optional
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 lemon zested and juiced about 1 tablespoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the chicken. Preheat the oven to 400°F 200°C. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Dice the veggies. Add the bell pepper, onion, artichoke hearts, spinach, and parmesan cheese if using to the mixing bowl on top of the chicken.
- Make the dressing. In a separate small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Stir it all together. Pour the dressing on top of the chicken and veggies and gently stir until well combined.
- Bake. Place the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- Note that liquid will accumulate in the bottom of the pan
- That’s normal and expected and it helps to keep the chicken moist while cooking
- Simply use a slotted spoon to scoop out the chicken and veggies
- If serving this bake on top of rice or lentils, drizzle some of those extra juices on top for extra flavor
