Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3 to 4 breasts), cut into 1-inch pieces

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped

2 (13.5 oz) cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained and squeezed

2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, roughly chopped

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

½ cup mayonnaise

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tbsp zest, 3 tbsp juice)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cut Chicken:
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.

Add Veggies & Cheese:
Add bell pepper, onion, artichoke hearts, spinach, and Parmesan cheese (if using) to the bowl with the chicken.

Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Combine:
Pour the dressing over the chicken and veggies. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.

Bake:
Transfer mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serve:
Use a slotted spoon to serve, or drizzle pan juices over rice or lentils if desired.

Notes

Some liquid in the pan is normal and helps keep the chicken moist.

Great for serving over rice, cauliflower rice, or grains.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

You can prep the dish ahead and bake when ready to serve.
