Budget Dinner – Spinach & Artichoke Chicken
Who doesn’t like a good spinach and artichoke dip? Sign me up! What could be better? Spinach and artichoke chicken of course. This recipe is not just delicious but it’s also budget friendly and can be prepared for just $55.00 and feeds a family of four.
It’s a one pan dish, which means easy preparation and clean up, yet another plus to this recipe. This chicken recipe is layered with fresh garlic and spinach and also marinated artichokes and sun dried tomatoes.
The best part of this recipe is the fresh smoked mozzarella cheese and creamy gruyere cheese. We’ve paired this delicious dish with fresh linguine pasta but you can pair it with just about anything. It will go well with baked potato, zucchini noodles, rice or even couscous.
Enjoy!

I really enjoyed this dish. I typically do not like artichokes but the marinated ones were really good. It really was quick to prepare and delicious. The only thing I did differently was use regular mozzarella because I couldn’t find the smoked mozzarella at the supermarket I went to but it still came out delicious.
Thanks Kim glad you enjoyed it!
