Trader Joe's Spinach and Artichoke Dip Chicken
This Trader Joe's spinach and artichoke dip chicken uses THREE ingredients (plus a few spices) and make the most delicious satisfying meal! It takes about 5 minutes of prep time with zero chopping, zero getting your hands dirty, and virtually zero clean up! It's truly a a perfect busy weeknight meal!
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin about 3-4 thinly sliced chicken breasts
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. sea salt or kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 8.8 oz. container of Trader Joe's frozen Spinach and Artichoke Dip
- 1-2 cups mozzarella or Provolone cheese about 3-4 Provolone slices
Instructions
- Prep the dip: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place frozen spinach and artichoke dip in a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 3 minutes and stir. If there are still frozen parts, continue to microwave in 15 second increments until heated through (does not have to but totally hot and bubbly, just warm).
- Prep the chicken: While the dip is warming, place chicken in a 9x13 casserole dish or on a baking sheet. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spread: Spread the prepared spinach and artichoke dip generously over the chicken breasts (about 2 generous tablespoons per chicken breast - you may have a little leftover). Then, sprinkle the cheese over the top.
- Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Broil for 3-4 minutes more to get the cheese brown and bubbly. Serve right away!
Notes
- Thin chicken: Slicing your chicken breasts thinly allows for quicker cooking, which we all need on a busy weeknight! If you buy the giant chicken breasts at Costco, just slice them in half lengthwise. Trader Joe's chicken breasts are usually fairly thin and even.
- Check the chicken: The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken. For super thin chicken or chicken breast tenders, start checking around the 20 minute mark. We are looking for an internal temperature of 165°F using an instant-read themometer.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can reheat leftovers in the microwave or in the oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
