Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 chicken tenderloins
  • 1/2 teaspoon Traeger Blackened Saskatchewan seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper divided
  • 10 oz frozen spinach thawed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese reduced fat or regular
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 10 oz frozen artichoke hearts thawed
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • In a shallow dish, combine Blackened Saskatchewan seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spray chicken with olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray. Coat chicken on both sides with seasoning blend.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high in a fry pan. Add seasoned chicken to pan and cook for four minutes, flip chicken and cook another four minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout. Let cool and then shred.
  • With thawed spinach, squeeze out any excess water using a clean kitchen towel or a couple large paper towels, which is what I prefer to use. Try to remove as much water from the spinach as possible so your dip won't turn out runny.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium fry pan. Add chopped onion and cook about 8 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add spinach and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine cream cheese, greek yogurt, and mayo. Pulse several times until mixture looks smooth, scrape sides, and pulse 1-2 more times.
  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, spinach mixture, cream cheese mixture, and grated Parmesan. Stir well until combined.
  • Transfer mixture to a 1 quart baking dish, sprinkle bread crumbs on top, and bake for 20-22 minutes. or until top is golden brown.
