Artichoke Chicken
I’ve been making this Artichoke Chicken recipe since college. With only a couple of ingredients, it tastes like artichoke dip on top of chicken. This chicken dinner is baked in the oven and is an easy dinner for any night of the week.
ARTICHOKE CHICKEN
(originally posted 2015)
I have a babysitter that is not only great with my kids but she completely cleans my house. Babysitter goldmine, right? I always clean before babysitters come over anyway but no matter how clean I get it, she’ll find a junk drawer to organize or laundry to do.
I don’t want her to think I’m a total slob so I try to clean as much as I can before she comes and wash every single piece of laundry I can find – which lasts for about 2 minutes before there’s already dirty laundry with a house full of 7 people.
Remember me, the worst folder ever? She has military grade folding skills.
Last time we went out, I was sure that there was nothing she could possibly find to clean or fold and I came home to my game closet organized (she said she couldn’t help herself) and about 10 items of clothing washed and folded – one being a pair of my underwear, folded in a very small tight square.
I guess I should get over it and embrace the help. What does all that have to do with this chicken? Nothing. Except that I used to make this 8 years ago when we lived in a tiny apartment with a lot less kids and a lot less to clean.
Think of your favorite artichoke dip on top of chicken. It’s delicious. The topping keeps the chicken from getting dry and the ingredients although simple, are delicious. I only made 4 breasts this time so I had leftover topping and stuck it in the oven until bubbly and served it with baguettes. So versatile.

Is this freshly grated Parmesan or the powdery type of grated Parmesan?
Fresh would be better but I’ve used both.
This is so amazing. I’ve been making this for years. It’s one of my go to recipes.
Great for entertaining. Make it ahead of time and put it in the fridge. Just pop it in the oven when ready. 😋 I like to make meals that have leftovers that taste great. And this chicken and artichoke recipe is a big leftover hit.
So happy to hear that!
I like your idea of making this ahead of time and popping it in the oven. Do you have to let the baking dish come to room temperature, or can you just put it in the oven when the dish is cold?
This was so easy and very delcious.
Happy to hear that!
Sounds delicious and I can wait to make it my family loves artichoke dip and chicken what an impressive way to combine both
Hope you like it!
Another winning recipe for our family. The topping tastes like a delicious artichoke dip. I added jalapenos because we like a little spice with everything.
So glad you liked it!
Best chicken artichoke I’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing
Thank yoU!
Can you assemble it the day before and then bake it one day later?
Sure!
Made this several times before, but this time I added some fresh green chili peppers.
Absolutely awesome!
Yum! Great tip!
This is so good! I’m doing a cleanse so I changed it a bit. I used Dijon mustard instead of mayo and Pecorino Romano for the parmesan. It was 2 thumbs up from everyone in my house!
Oh Yum! THank you!
Did I miss the temp?
Yep, it’s 375 degrees which is says on step #1
This recipe is so easy and so very delicious. My family loved it and wants it again next week!
So happy to hear that.
Could I make this with marinated artichokes?
Yes you can.
Made this last night – fantastic. I;m always watching our calories so I made it with light mayo and it was still great. So simple and flavorful. Served it with wild rice and vegetables. Thanks for what will be a regular in our meals.
Thanks! Awesome!
Rave reviews – even from the picky 12 year old! Thank you for an easy, delicious, weeknight meal – I roasted some tomatoes with olive oil, S&P while the chicken cooked, drizzled them with balsamic, and served with warm bread for those who still eat bread – half the house does, the other doesn’t. It was a hit all the way around. I wouldn’t hesitate to serve this to guests!
Sounds amazing!
This looks awesome and we Love artichoke dip and on chicken WOW LOOKS EASY AND DELICIOUS. Easy dinner
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
