Ingredients

• 4 6 oz chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and chopped
• 1 cup frozen spinach
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 14 oz can light coconut milk
• 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp gluten-free all purpose flour (or regular all purpose if not gluten-free)
• Optional: salt & pepper (as needed)

Directions

• In a large skillet, heat to medium high heat. Spray with oil if needed for non stick. Season chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper (if using).
• Brown each chicken breast on both sides (about 5-6 minutes per side if thick).
• Remove from pan and set aside on a plate (they wont be cooked through at this point).
• In the same skillet, turn down to medium heat, melt the butter, and add in the chopped garlic and let cook for 30 seconds to let the garlic get a bit golden. Then add the flour and whisk until it makes a rue. Let it cook for 30 seconds, then slowly add the can of coconut milk. Keep whisking until the milk mixture is smooth (aside from the chunks of garlic).
• Let the milk mixture thicken a bit, then add in the parmesan cheese and whisk until its melted in. Sauce will start to thicken. Add in the chopped artichokes, and frozen spinach. I added in my spinach frozen (they were spinach nuggets) and separated it as it melted. If its frozen spinach in a box, you might want to thaw it in the microwave beforehand and squeeze out a bit of the excess liquid and measure out 1 cup.
• Place the chicken breasts back in the spinach/artichoke mixture and simmer all together with the lid off until the chicken is cooked through. The sauce will thicken a bit more as it simmers...just make sure you keep the lid off or it might get watery.
