If there's ever been a day you've dreamed about tucking away a skillet of spinach-artichoke dip, you've come to the right place. Here, the crave-worthy appetizer is turned into a one-pan dinner, thanks to boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Vegetables are central to this dish (nearly two pounds!), but of course, spinach-artichoke chicken wouldn't be true to its name without some richness. Three varieties of cheese — cream cheese, mozzarella and Parmesan — are whisked into the skillet, creating a silky sauce.

What is the 'healthiest' Girl Scout cookie? Dietitians share their favorites |
It's officially that time of year: Girl Scout cookie season! And nutrition experts say there is room for the treat in a healthy diet. "Just because you eat something with added sugar doesn't mean your whole diet has been derailed," says registered dietitian Cara Harbstreet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends aiming for 50 grams (or less) of added sugar per day. "That allows plenty of room to enjoy the occasional cookie or two," says Harbstreet. Since dietitians agree that you shouldn't deprive yourself of a cookie, here are the ones they say have the most nutritional upside. Find out which Girl Scout cookie is the healthiest. |
