  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
  • ¾ tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dry shallots
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Additional cheese for topping, as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
  2. Season chicken breasts with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden.
  4. Add chicken broth to the skillet, cover, and braise until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 20–25 minutes.
  5. Remove chicken from the pan and shred in a large bowl.
  6. To the bowl, add sour cream, cream cheese, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, dry shallots, garlic powder, dried basil, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  7. Fold in grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly combined.
  8. Spread the mixture into the prepared skillet or dish. Top with additional cheese if desired.
  9. Bake uncovered for about 25–30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
  10. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes to achieve a golden top. Serve warm with bread, crackers, or chips.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • Artichokes make a great vegetarian substitute for chicken.
  • Don’t freeze; dairy can separate.
  • Broil at the end for a golden, cheesy top.
