This is one dinner you are not going to want to pass up.
This spinach artichoke chicken pasta is DIVINE. Like really so, so delicious and a huge crowd pleaser for the entire family. The flavor is spot on. It’s loaded with some veg, shredded chicken, ricotta cheese and pasta. Baked until hot and bubbly and served as the ultimate bowl of comfort food.
I have made so many skillet lasagnas over the years. Traditional skillet lasagna, butternut squash skillet lasagna, sausage and kale, caprese, sun dried tomato and corn, zucchini…
Okay okay maybe I have a little obsession with them.
And I hesitated to call this one a skillet lasagna, because it’s the first time that I didn’t use actual lasagna noodles! I used farfalle instead, and while I’m not particularly fond of bow ties, my kids are. I knew it would be a major win if I used them.
WOW. Everyone ended up loving this so much. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this is!
The leftovers are also really fantastic.
The best part about these skillet pastas? You can layer, you can toss everything in, it can be an utter mess and will still come out tasting fantastic.
So let’s see how I make it!
- My go-to these days seems to be using a rotisserie chicken. I KNOW. It’s just so, so easy. I get one at costco every week and let’s be real – it’s always right there in the fridge exactly when I need it. If I’m not using it to make quesadillas or soup, it’s going in a pasta and is just perfect.
- I shred the rotisserie chicken in this instance, but you can chop it too. While I work on that, I cook some pasta so it’s ready to go. You could always do these steps ahead of time so the dish is ready to be thrown together on a busy weeknight.
- The first thing I do is saute some onion and garlic. Next, comes the fresh spinach and artichokes. Most delicious combo, right?!
- I toss the chicken into the spinach artichoke mixture. Then comes a bit of cream and a bit of chicken stock. Along with some shredded mozzarella.
- Next, toss in the pasta and add a few dollops of ricotta cheese. Finally, bake it until warm and golden and bubbly and cheesy and melty!
Can’t even explain how good this one is. While it is very cheesy and comforting, the artichokes bring a little spring brightness to the dish. It’s cozy and perfect for this time of year!

Spinach Artichoke and Chicken Skillet Lasagna
Ingredients
- 8 ounces farfalle pasta, or your favorite cut of pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- kosher salt and pepper
- 12 ounces fresh baby spinach
- 1 (14 ounce) jar artichoke hearts in brine, drained and chopped
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- finely grated parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the instructions. Drain and set it aside until you’re ready to use it.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onions soften. Stir in the spinach and the chopped artichoke hearts. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often, until the spinach wilts. Stir in the shredded chicken.
- Stir in the pasta. Stir in the cream and chicken stock until combined. Continue to heat until the liquid is simmering. Stir in the mozzarella. Add on the ricotta cheese in dollops and sprinkle on some parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pasta is hot and cheesy and bubbly. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve. I like to give it a quick stir before serving!

Amen!❤
Awesome recipe, everything can be purchased at Trader Joe’s and easy to make… except rotisserie chicken, I bought a pack of chicken tenders (raw) and it was not quite enough chicken. But super delish and easy to make!
Oh yeah I used rigatoni. Recommend!
Can this be frozen?
Loved this recipe! My husband raved about it the whole time he was eating. I did make a small change, used fresh mozzarella, oh my! Thanks for a great keeper!
Really delicious recipe. I love it yummy!!! It’s really awesome
Can I make this in a casserole dish and bake it?
Thx

wow, this loos so delicious and yummy. I just love this recipe for spinach artichoke skillet lasagna. thanks for sharing this wonderful article and recipe.
Really yummy! And pretty simple to put together!
I made this with leftover thanksgiving turkey and frozen spinach, and it was still really tasty. Thanks for an adaptable recipe!
thanks for sharing this recipe I will try this while doing gaming on a laptop!
This was incredible! I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. I really appreciated that the salt level was perfect. I added a couple of big pinches of red pepper flakes to make it spicy. The only thing I’d suggest is boiling the pasta a couple of minutes short of al dente, as there’s quite a bit of liquid and it continues to cook during the bake. This one is keeper for sure, though.
All your recipes are fantastic, but this one really sticks out as a crowd please. It may be my favorite one!
Oh my word. I’m drooling over this recipe.
What size is your skillet? Mine is 12” but I’m worried it too large
Delish! This recipe is amazing! I’m going to add mushrooms for more veggies next time.
