There are times in life when you discover something that is magical. A sale on a pair of shoes, a rerun of your favorite episode of the The Office (the wedding one obviously), an amazingly awesome quick recipe – um yeah – that one especially! 
My blogging friend, Iowa Girl Eats, posted a recipe for Spinach Artichoke Dip Chicken and I was hooked! 
Saute shallots & garlic in a little butter…

Add cream cheese & greek yogurt until it gets melty…
Then add spinach (the recipe calls for frozen – I used fresh – worked fine), artichoke hearts, parmesan & mozzarella cheeses and stir it up!

Earlier I placed chicken tenders in a baking dish and seasoned with salt & pepper – then spread the spinach mixture over the top of the chicken.

Cover with foil and bake – then take the foil off, add cheese and broil for a few minutes until that melts. 
And there you have it – Spinach Artichoke Dip Chicken. 
This was delicious and so quick & easy to make! It made quite a bit – I think next time I would probably cut the recipe in half since Larry doesn’t eat leftovers that much. I’m still trying to find the right brand of artichokes – I hate when I bite into one that has that woody texture. 
Iowa Girl Eats has a lot of great recipes and this is just another of them. This is definitely going into the permanent rotation – I just have to remember to buy tortilla chips to go with it! 

Spinach & Artichoke Dip Chicken

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast
1 T butter
1 shallot, minced

6 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
