Are you guys ready for a pocket full of sunshine!…….wait, wait wait……….I mean a pocket full of creamy goodness!!!!

I’ve been seriously in the mood to make comfort food because of our moving recently. These chicken bakes fall right into that category because they’ve got it all. They’ve got a filling of a creamy spinach and artichoke sauce that’s stuffed with chunks of tender chicken. Then it’s all wrapped up in a big, soft pizza dough crust pocket and covered in plenty of shredded cheese that gets browned while they bake! Can you spell Y.U.M!!!

So I mentioned making these to my mom and she offered to get me some of the fresh artichokes that she’d seen at the market a few days before. All right, I’ve been known to deal with some pretty annoying ingredients in order to make everything completely from scratch (because that’s another one of my weirdnesses, don’t judge). I’m pretty open to most anything straight from the garden, however when it comes to artichokes I have a confession to make, I’d really rather not.

Out of all the different things I’m willing to mess with, artichokes just don’t make the cut. In fact, I’m sort of planning to never use fresh ones ever again unless absolutely necessary. I think I decided that a long time ago when I discovered first-hand why they are so named and spent the rest of that day with a sore throat. Does this ruin my credibility as a food blogger?

I do love artichoke hearts though, so I was so happy a few weeks ago when Mom found the jarred variety and saved me the headache of fighting the chokes. Of course, something that everyone knows goes so well with artichoke hearts is spinach (Oh, and don’t forget garlic!). This is such a classic combo that it’s almost cliché, but in my comfort food mood I didn’t see any reason to avoid it this once.

These are really simple to make and everyone loved them. I included a recipe for a single pizza crust dough but if you’d like to keep things even easier feel free to use your favorite store-bought pizza dough instead. K, and I think that’s all you need to know so I’m gonna let you get to making them while I hopefully wait for more thunderstormslike the weirdo I am. Enjoy guys!
