Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Skillet – Turn your favorite dip into a 5 ingredient, quick and easy chicken dinner!
Sometimes chicken every night can get boring. I get that. So I am always trying to mix it up. Recently I did a round up with 37 of my families favorite chicken recipes, so I could have them all in one place.
What are your favorites? When I was growing up, we would often have just chicken breasts season with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. It has been years since I have made just plain chicken. My husband would revolt! He wants sauce or noodles, or something extra.
One of my husbands all time favorite appetizers is spinach and artichoke dip. So I took that idea and turned it into dinner. And not just any dinner. A 5 ingredients, super easy dinner. It is packed with lots of spinach and artichokes, so your whole family will be getting their veggies. Spinach and Artichoke Gnocchi is another great way to get these flavors without a ton of work.
Over the past couple of years I have worked with Pillsbury to create recipes for their website. I very rarely share those recipes here, but I knew you guys would love this, so I just had to post about it.
Easy dinner recipes are what I live for. So this spinach and artichoke chicken skillet is exactly what I want on busy weeknights. You cook everything together in one pan, just a few ingredients you can have on hand all of the time, and dinner is done.
You can serve this with bread on the side to eat up all of that extra sauce. Or maybe even serve this over pasta. No matter what you do, your family will love all the flavors of classic spinach and artichoke dip on their plate for dinner.

I would love to make this but your print recipe does not have the full cooking instructions. When you go to Pillsbury their print receipt includes huge pictures I don’t want. Could you please include the full cooking instructionsLiz

Liz, I am sorry, but I am unable to print the full recipe on my site. I as just trying to mess around on Pillsbury’s site to see if I could figure it out for you. If you click on the link it takes you to the recipe. After the ingredients it says “Steps” and there is a Hide Images button to the right. If you click on that the instructions are just text. You can then copy and paste that into word to print. Their site is complicated that way. Sorry, if they allowed me to print the full recipe I would!
