Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, baby spinach, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, diced red bell pepper, thyme, and chopped onion.
In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, black pepper, and kosher salt. Add this mixture to the chicken and vegetables, stirring until well combined.
Gently fold in the quartered artichoke hearts and Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Great served with rice, boiled potatoes, or a crisp salad. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to three days or can be frozen.
