One Pan Creamy Spinach Mushroom Artichoke Chicken requires only one pot and 30 minutes to bring you an incredible creamy and delicious meal!
You guys. Once I made this one pot creamy chicken mushroom florentine I was hooked. Ain’t nobody got time for dishes… am I right?? Especially lately for us. I am just doing what I can to survive the end of this pregnancy trying to keep it all together and make sure that my kiddos get fed. We did have our last Lacrosse Games of the season yesterday. Hallelujah! So that should free up some of my time to keep the delicious one pot meals coming.
If you have not made a one pot meal right now, drop everything you are doing and go to the store and make this tonight! This meal was absolutely fantastic and I was reminded how much I love a one pot meal. Not only does it free up some time from doing a ton of dishes, but everything is cooked in the same pot.
I used penne for this dish because for some reason my little two year old is obsessed with penne pasta. She couldn’t eat this meal fast enough! She kept asking for more. So if a two year old approves of this recipe…. just sayin’.
The creaminess + the spinach + artichokes + mushrooms + freshly grated parmesan is a recipe for success. We all loved it so much that I know you are going to love this one too! It is sure to become a favorite in your family.
And if you haven’t made a one pot meal yet… run, don’t walk to the store! 😉

Thanks for another great meal, and so easy in one pan. I didn’t have half and half, so I used condensed milk (lame, I know), and even then everyone liked it, so it would be totally amazing to make it with half and half. I did cook the chicken then take it out/add back after the pasta was cooked, but other than that, I made it the way it is listed. It was very tasty and easy to put together quickly when I had an unexpected extra dinner guest and original meal plan would not have been enough food.
This is amazing! I doubled the recipe to have leftovers and feed a family of five. Swapped out shrimp for the chicken, and used a jar of grilled artichoke hearts. The only thing I added was Trader Joe’s Mushroom Umami seasoning. It would be excellent without it too. I boiled the pasta separately since I was making more. I’m keeping this recipe for future dinners too!
I forget to mention that we made this gluten-free by using brown rice pasta and omitted the flour. Absolutely delicious.
Exceptional recipe! We made this last night and everyone loved it – ages 11 through 67. This dish has a delicious, light creamy and comes together quickly. Very delicious!
Can I make this and freeze it? I’ve read that frozen pasta usually ends up being mushy.
Yes, you are right. Frozen pasta can turn out to be mushy and not the greatest warmed up. I like to leave out the pasta if I am going to freeze it. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
This was incredible! My family loved it!
That is SO great to hear!! I am glad they loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Really good recipe, thanks for the helpful write-up! Just made this with a few tweaks (used chicken tenders, ricotta instead of half and half, and broccoli instead of artichokes), but it came out great. I was nervous the liquid wouldn’t cook off, but it came out perfectly. My wife and I are fans!
I love your tweaks and how you made it your own!! Thanks for sharing!! Xo
From the looks of the recipe, all the ingredients look fine, However, I strongly recommend
that you review the directions, as I have made similar recipes wherein you dice the chicken into small cubes, but to cook it over high heat until golden brown, and then further cook it an additional 10-15 minutes with raw pasta covered until the pasta is tender, I would believe at that point, the chicken will be way overcooked and taste like small bricks, even though all the ingredients would make it taste great. I will attempt this recipe, but cook the pasta separately and then add it back to the pan that has the chicken incorporated already with the baby spinach. I strongly believe that this recipe may have been typed in error. Please recheck it, as I personally do no like chicken overcooked in any recipe whatsoever. Thank you
It’s very true as a chef with over 22 years in the business. You cook the chicken (thighs are better more flavor ) Chicken breast I make it for my dogs. Then remove the chicken & only after all ingredients cook you add the chicken. It’s like red sauce you eat at a pasta restaurant people put up recipes & have no clue being sicilian i will give you the secret. Beef bones & country pork ribs and creek olives include the oil & other food then they remove before serving.
Why rate something one star if you haven’t even made it yet? That’s wrong. Make it your way and then include your comments before rating someone else’s dish.
Made it up tonight. I was not disappointed. It is delish.
That is so great to hear!! I am glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing!!
So yum!!! Thanks for all your good goodies!!
Can I use seafood instead of chicken
Yes! I love seafood too!! I am not sure how it would taste but it sounds delicious! Let me know how it turns out!!
i just made this one tonight and I used chicken and shrimp. just added about 1lb of shrimp after adding the half & half and chicken broth after it was simmering for about 5b minutes. So 10 minutes at the end for the shrimp to cook but not overcook. super yummy
I LOVE how you made it your own!! I am a big seafood fan! Love the shrimp addition! Sounds like a great meal tonight!! Xo
Holy yum, this is pretty much what I’ve been craving all day! I guess great foodie minds think alike ?. Can’t wait to try out this version!
