Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coat of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
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.
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.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts to the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the artichoke and cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
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.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
