Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 15-ounce can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coat of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked through. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts to the cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

Spread the artichoke and cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
