Description

A flavorful low carb chicken dish featuring tender boneless chicken breasts topped with a savory spinach and artichoke mixture, enriched with creamy crumbled goat cheese. Perfect for a healthy, satisfying meal that combines protein and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Protein & Vegetables

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasoning & Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Heat Olive Oil: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil to prepare for sautéing the garlic and vegetables.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Cook Spinach and Artichokes: Stir in the fresh spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is completely wilted.
  6. Prepare Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into a baking dish, ready for the oven.
  7. Add Vegetable Mixture: Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach and artichoke mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
  8. Add Goat Cheese: Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the vegetable-topped chicken breasts to add creaminess and tang.
  9. Bake Chicken: Bake the prepared dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked.
  10. Rest Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices and improve texture.
  11. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy this nutritious low carb chicken meal.

Notes

  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safety.
  • You can substitute goat cheese with feta for a different flavor profile.
  • For more vegetables, add mushrooms or bell peppers to the sauté mixture.
  • This recipe pairs well with cauliflower rice or a light salad for a complete low carb meal.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
