Ingredients:

½ (10 ounce) package frozen spinach
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ (14 ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Direction

Microwave spinach in a medium bowl until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly and squeeze to remove excess moisture.
Return spinach to the bowl. Mix in cream cheese, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness, no more than 1-inch-thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts in the hot oil, 2 to 3 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Place chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Spread spinach-artichoke mixture on top of each breast.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 22 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top breasts with the mozzarella cheese and continue baking until cheese has melted, 1 to 2 more minutes.

Pan Roasted Chicken with Grapes Garlic and Rosemary

Dinner doesn't get simpler or more elegant than this pan-roasted chicken. To make it, a whole chicken is cut into eight pieces, then roasted with grapes, garlic cloves, and sprigs of rosemary to yield crispy-skinned chicken in a schmaltzy pan sauce that begs for a crusty piece of bread. "I'm on record as being a slavering fan of Angie Mar's glam-bomb fare," says Senior Editor Kat Kinsman, who is a super-fan of Mar (a 2017 Food & Wine Best New Chef) and first tried this dish to-go. "But the take-out foil pan filled with roasted grapes, garlic, and rosemary; fatty drippings; and the sloppiest, cook's-treat parts of a chicken (my favorite) may be the best thing she ever served me."
