Yes, I found yet another great take on the favorite spinach artichoke combo. And yes, today is Sunday, and I would ordinarily prep a great big batch of soup for the week. But, I am happily preparing to head off to Key West for vacay, so I only needed a couple of dinners and a couple of lunches. This recipe was perfect, plus a nice break from the soup jag I’ve been on lately. A dear friend of mine refers to a dish like this as “food in a pile”, and if that’s your jam, you’ll love this.

I made this in my Instant Pot in about an hour, but you could also make it in the Crock Pot, start it in the morning and it would be ready when you got home. Either way, it’s a great quick, healthy, clean eating dinner that hits all of the comfort food spots!

• 4 cups chopped spinach
• 1 can (14 ounce) diced tomatoes with juice
• 1 cup water
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 onion, chopped
• 6 tablespoons non-dairy cream cheese
• 1 cup non-dairy mozzarella cheese
• 1 can (14 ounce) artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and chopped
• 2 cups chopped zucchini

Place spinach, can of tomatoes and juice, water, garlic and onion in the bottom of the instant or crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper and place on top. Place chopped zucchini and artichokes on top of chicken. Cook on pressure cooker setting on instant pot for 25 minutes, low setting on crock pot for 6-8 hours.

When finished, gently remove chicken. Add cream cheese and mozzarella cheeses and stir in until blended and creamy. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

You can serve this with brown rice (I piled the chicken and sauce right on top of my rice) and any assortment of vegetables or a salad to complete the meal.

I used non-dairy mozzarella because I didn’t have any more nutritional yeast (and neither did the store!) The great thing about non-dairy mozzarella is it melts really nicely and doesn’t give that stringy consistency that sticks to everything. Of course you could add some nutritional yeast to make it more of a parmesan flavor. You could also leave out the tomatoes, if you have similar feelings as mine toward peas… just add an extra cup of water.

Dinner. Is. Served!
