If you love spinach and artichoke dip, then you're going to love this Slow Cooker Chicken with Spinach and Artichokes recipe made with chopped boneless chicken breasts, frozen spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, chicken broth, herbs, and spices. An easy and flavorful low-carb and keto-friendly recipe that the whole family will love!
This is one of those recipes that definitely tastes better than it looks. It's hard to get a sexy photo of this dish...it's just not that photogenic. However, I promise it's really delicious!! I happen to be a huge fan of the spinach artichoke combo. Spinach artichoke pinwheels are one of my favorite appetizer recipes of all time. They are always a huge hit at parties. If you haven't made them yet, what are you waiting for?!! Hot artichoke dip is another party staple that I've been making for years. So easy and so delicious!! I can thank my college roommate for that one.
This keto-diet friendly recipe takes only minutes to throw together and cooks while you go about your day....definitely my kind of meal. 😉
Having the chicken chopped up before cooking reduces the cooking time. It's great served over angel hair pasta, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for a tasty low-carb/ keto option.

If you want to use canned artichoke, should they be put in later?

Hi Margaret! Canned artichokes would be fine to put in with the chicken at the beginning.
