Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this Cheesy Chicken Artichoke Bake—a rich, flavorful dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Succulent chicken breasts are lightly seared for a golden finish, then baked to perfection under a creamy, tangy blend of cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and garlic. The star ingredient, tender artichoke hearts, adds a delightful twist, while a generous layer of gooey mozzarella seals the deal. With a prep time of just 20 minutes, this easy, oven-baked recipe delivers cheesy, savory goodness that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, pasta, or a crisp green salad. Perfectly warm and irresistibly creamy, this crowd-pleaser is sure to become a family favorite.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden (but not fully cooked). Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the drained and quartered artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture.
Spread the artichoke and cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the top for an extra cheesy layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve warm with a side of roasted vegetables, pasta, or a fresh green salad.
