Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped

2 cans (13.5 ounces each) quartered artichoke hearts, drained and squeezed of excess liquid

2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.

3. Add bell pepper, onion, artichokes, spinach, and parmesan if using.

4. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and mix well.

6. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.

7. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
