Notes

Pro Tips for the Best Spinach Artichoke Chicken Bake

🔥 Use thin chicken breasts – If your chicken is too thick, slice them in half for even cooking.

🧀 Mix up the cheeses – Swap mozzarella for gouda, provolone, or fontina for a different twist!

🌿 Use fresh or frozen spinach – If using frozen, thaw and drain well to avoid extra moisture.
