What ingredients do I need to make this One Pot Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken?

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts– cut into thin cutlets. Pound the chicken breasts so they are similar in thickness. It’s important to have the chicken pieces be similar in size so they will cook evenly.
• All-purpose flour- you could also use gluten-free flour, or almond flour for a low carb option. Note: Coating the chicken cutlets in flour before searing gives the chicken dramatic browning.
• Olive oil- I only use one teaspoon plus olive oil cooking spray gives the flour covered chicken cutlets the golden brown coloring. 
• Fresh baby spinach– chopped. You could use frozen spinach-be sure to let it thaw completely and then drain any liquid before adding it to the skillet.
• Artichoke hearts in water– drained and quartered
• Parsley– fresh and chopped 
• Garlic– minced 
• Light butter- I use I can’t believe it’s not butter, Smart Balance, or Land O’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil
• Low sodium chicken broth
• Light sour cream or non fat plain yogurt – either one will work, the point value will vary depending on which one you use.
• Light cream cream cheese- room temperature. 
• Grated Parmesan– I use the fresh grated Parmesan that you find in the container near the deli.
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper– to taste

Can I freeze this One Pot Meal?

Yes, you can freeze this, just a fair warning: the texture of the light cream cheese and sour cream base can be slightly affected, making the frozen and re-heated chicken and sauce a little less silky smooth than when freshly made.

How do I make this One Pot Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken?

Season with salt and pepper and toss in flour to coat, shaking off any excess flour.

Place the floured covered chicken cutlets into the hot skillet.

Brown the chicken on both sides until cooked through and golden brown, 5-8 minutes per side. If needed, spray the top of the chicken with non stick cooking spray so the top and bottom of the chicken becomes golden brown.

Remove chicken cutlets from heat and set aside on a plate.

Add light butter to skillet. Stir in parsley and garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. 

Stir in light cream cheese and light sour cream or non fat plain yogurt. 

Whisk until smooth and melted. 

Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper.

Stir in spinach and artichokes

Stir until spinach is wilted.

Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top until chicken. 

Reduce heat and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce is covering the chicken.

Remove from heat.

Enjoy!
