Artichoke and Spinach Crusted Chicken

I saw a recipe for Artichoke Crusted Chicken on Pinterest. It sounded good, but I wanted to streamline the recipe and add some spinach to the mix. The result was an easy weeknight meal that involves minimal prepwork and hands on time. The dream, right? Until C and Miss F both picked off the artichoke topping. Miss F I can understand, she is my meat loving girl, but C? I asked him what on earth was wrong with artichokes, spinach and cheese. His response was that it was too rich. Ha! This from the man who would be happy eating chicken pot pie every night for dinner. So this goes down as another great recipe that I will never get to cook for my family again. Add it to the vault.

Artichoke and Spinach Crusted Chicken ¼ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/3 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese 1/3 cup artichoke hearts, chopped ½ cup baby spinach Squeeze of fresh lemon juice Dash of hot sauce 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Place the chicken breasts in the greased baking dish. Top each piece of chicken with ¼ of the artichoke mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the topping is beginning to brown and bubble.
