Ever had spinach and artichoke dip in a restaurant? This recipe is similar to that but with more protein and no chips. I had a craving for spinach and artichoke dip one night and decided to turn it into a whole dinner: spinach artichoke chicken in a slow-cooker.
Spinach Artichoke Chicken
The chicken is topped with spinach, artichokes and a mix of cheeses for a very protein rich (and low carb) quick meal that can be easily made in the crock pot or on the stove.
Some kids might not like the strong flavors in the artichokes, but mine really enjoyed this recipe. We served it with homemade Caesar salad and it was wonderful!
This can be made in a slow cooker or just baked in the oven for about an hour.
