Spinach Artichoke Chicken Bake (DF & GF)

This was a great recipe from Real Plan meal planning program. The recipe is easy to follow and easy to make. I would suggest adding broccoli as a side dish as the spinach and artichoke are not enough veggies to call it a full meal. It is very tasty and our kids really liked it.
