CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE, AND SPINACH WREATH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside on paper towels to drain grease.
• Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Grill or sauté chicken until just cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
• While chicken cooks, mix mayo, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of kosher salt, and a big pinch of ground black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
• Add the chopped scallions to the bowl.
• Chop cooked chicken into bite sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
• Drain, rinse, and pat dry artichokes. Chop finely, and add to the bowl.
