03 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Spinach & Artichoke Topping
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably whole milk

04 - Spread the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.
