You can prepare the chicken and the artichoke mixture separately up to 3 days ahead and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. While we recommend serving the recipe fresh, freezing it is an option, and it should be good for about 3 months. If you freeze it, place the dish in a freezer-safe bag and remove as much air as possible before sealing it.Yes, you can substitute the dry white wine with chicken or vegetable broth, or plain water. Keep in mind that the flavor may not be exactly the same, but you can get close.We would serve this with ourWild Rice Pilaf,Cauliflower Rice PilaforEasy Brown Rice, along with a salad. A crusty ciabatta would be ideal for soaking up the delicious sauce.While fresh spinach is preferred to avoid adding extra moisture to the sauce, you can use frozen spinach. To prevent a runny sauce, thaw the frozen spinach leaves, drain them and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before adding them to the rest of the ingredients.EatingWell.com, November 2024

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
(-) Information is not currently available for this nutrient. If you are following a special diet for medical reasons, be sure to consult with your primary care provider or a registered dietitian to better understand your personal nutrition needs.
