Ever had spinach and artichoke dip in a restaurant? This recipe is similar to that but with more protein and less chips. I had a craving for spinach and artichoke dip one night and decided to turn it in to a whole dinner.

Some kids might not like the strong flavors in the artichokes, but mine really liked this recipe. We served with homemade Caesar salad and it was wonderful!

Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of chicken breast or strips (or one of those bags of frozen chicken)
• 1 package of frozen chopped spinach, very well drained
• 1 large (about 15 ounce) jar of marinated artichoke hearts
• 1 package of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese (optional)
• Garlic powder, salt, pepper

How to Make Spinach and Artichoke Chicken

1. Chop chicken into bite sized pieces, season with garlic, salt and pepper and place in crock pot for 2 hours (on high) or 4 hours (on low) [Note: This can vary by crock pot.]
2. When chicken is almost cooked, add the well drained spinach, can of artichoke hearts, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese.
3. Cook for another hour until cheeses are well melted and stir to incorporate flavors.
4. Top with mozzarella cheese and serve.
