Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear each breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella. Stir until well combined and creamy.
Spread half the fresh spinach leaves evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish (if using). Layer the seared chicken breasts on top.
Evenly distribute the chopped artichoke hearts over the chicken breasts. Spread the creamy mixture over the artichokes and chicken, ensuring everything is covered.
If using spinach, layer the remaining spinach leaves on top of the mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove from oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
