Ingredients

1(10 ounce) packagefrozen spinach, thawed

½cupchopped canned artichoke hearts, rinsed

½cupshredded Monterey Jack cheese

2ouncesreduced-fat cream cheese, softened

2tablespoonsmayonnaise

1tablespoonmincedshallot

1largeclovegarlic, grated

1poundchicken cutlets

½teaspoonground pepper

⅛teaspoonsalt

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

3tablespoonsgratedParmesan

Directions

Preheat broiler to high.

Squeeze as much water from spinach as possible. Place in a medium bowl and add artichoke hearts, Monterey Jack, cream cheese, mayonnaise, shallot and garlic. Stir to combine.

Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other broiler-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more.

Top the chicken with the spinach mixture. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a cutlet registers 165°F and the topping is beginning to brown and warmed throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
