A quick and easy Mediterranean style baked chicken dish with spinach, artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes.
I have been enjoying baked chicken dishes lately, the kind where you throw the chicken and other ingredients into a pan and bake it all at once! They are super easy to make and you can pack them with flavour like in this Tuscan inspired baked chicken with spinach, artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes along with plenty of melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese! The spinach with release some liquids so I like to serve this over rice or pasta to soak it all up. You can easily modify this recipe with the addition on other Mediterranean flavours like olives, onions, feta, etc.

A quick and easy Mediterranean style baked chicken dish with spinach, artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes.
ingredients
- 10 ounces spinach (or baby spinach)
- 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, quartered or chopped
- 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated
directions
- Place half of the spinach on the bottom of a large baking dish, top with the chicken seasoned with oregano, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle on the artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, the remaining spinach, mozzarella, and parmesan.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, about 25-35 minutes. *
Note: * The amount of time required to bake the chicken can vary depending on the size of the chicken used. The suggested bake time is based on the recipes called for 1 pound of chicken split into roughly 3-4 portions. If you use large pieces of chicken, say 1 pound in 2 pieces or 2 pounds in 4 pieces, then you will need more bake time, or you can split the chicken into smaller pieces. If you are baking for longer periods of time, cover the pan in foil to help prevent the liquids from all cooking off.

Everyone LOVED this dinner and I will be making it again. Ours did not have as much juice as your photos and text reference, and we would have liked that. Did you use the juice from the artichokes hearts and did you cover the pan while cooking to hold more moisture?
I had to use a deeper casserole dish (and I only had 2 breasts for 2 people) I cooked for 30 minutes & it wasn’t even near done. Also not juicy like yours so, same question? Cover while cooking It is back in the oven WITH cover & hoping for best. I would brown these in the frying pan next time also – better look!
What is on the spatula in the picture that looks like it could be a tortilla? I don’t see anything in the ingredient list that looks like it.
That’s a sliced artichoke heart!
How do I get a promo code to buy your cook books?
Thank you

Hi Ann!
You don’t need a promo code to buy my cookbooks, just leave that blank and continue! Enjoy!
Can’t wait to make this for Sunday Family dinner.
I absolutely loooved this recipe!!! I did add a little bit of onion and garlic powder to the seasoning. This is going to definitely be a staple dish in my household.
Awesome! I put a small amount of olive oil in the bottom of the pan and then drizzled a small amount over the artichokes and sun dried tomatoes. Also added garlic!!
Can this be made in a standard 9×13 baking dish, or would I need something deeper for all the spinach? Tyia!
This works well in a 9×13 baking dish!
No way 30 minutes at 350 was anywhere near time enough unless you are using sliced chicken breasts. Literally cooking this dish as I type and breasts were at 75 degrees, spinach dried out, and cheese browned at 35 minutes. Added chicken stock and covered it with foil… turned the heat up to 375 and set the timer for 30 more minutes. Fingers crossed we eat some time tonight.
The bake time for chicken can vary depending on the size of the chicken. The recipe calls for 1 pound of chicken in 4 portions/servings and at this size it cooks pretty quickly. I have added a note to the recipe with some tips for using more/larger pieces of chicken!
