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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Make the dressing. In a separate small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir it all together. Pour the dressing on top of the chicken and veggies and gently stir until well combined.
  5. 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
