Pre-heat oven to 375. In a casserole dish line the chicken breasts and drizzle with olive oil. Season both sides with salt, black pepper and granulated garlic. Cover the pan with foil and cook for 45 minutes
Shred the chicken with two forks, or a hand mixer, until finely shredded.
In a bowl mix together the mayo, pecorino Romano and the chives cut into small pieces. Measure the chives with your heart 🙂 As long as you have a few tablespoons worth, you're good to go!
Chop the onion and sautée in a frying pan with a Tbsp of olive oil until they are fully cooked. Add in the arugula and stir well. If the onions begin to stick add another Tbsp of olive oil. Cook until they are fully wilted.
Mix the shredded chicken with the arugula mixture. If you would like stir in 1-2 tsp of red chili flakes for a subtle kick. Put the mixture in a casserole dish
Styling suggestion: wipe the slides clean of excessive mixture, so they don't burn in the oven. This gives you a clean presentation.
Bake on 375 for 30 minutes, uncovered
When the mixture is done it should be golden on top and bubbling. Serve hot with pita, toasted baguette, cucumbers or carrot sticks!
Recipe hack, When hot, you can also stir in pasta (gluten free or regular) to make a delicious creamy pasta dish

Truth be told, I’m a sucker for a good dip! Over the past few years I have tried my hands at a variety of spinach dips. Before long they become my main meal until eventually I lick the bowl clean. If you stop to think about it, a few dips hold the monopoly: Buffalo Chicken & Spinach Artichoke. Don’t get me wrong, I will gladly accept either of those ANY time, but I started to crave something new. As someone who is gluten free, dairy free and tried to eat as nutrient rich as possible, one may think that any kind of dip would be off the table. That my friend, is where I come in! The trick is knowing what ingredients to buy, when to swap, and what mouthwatering flavors to include to make sure the whole table will love it! Naturally gluten free, this recipe is easily made egg free with Hellman’s Vegan Mayo & more friendly to those with lactose intolerance with pecorino Romano (a goat milk version of a parmesan). Serve with gluten free bread, assorted vegetables and trust me…the entire table will be scraping the dish clean!
So what makes this recipe unique? Well for starters, I’m using sautéed arugula which has a subtle but distinct peppery flavory, sautéed onions and the option of red pepper flakes (highly recommended) to bring all the wonderful flavors together with a punch! It also was important to be that I use a high quality chicken, that’s hormone & antibiotic free while also supporting American farmers! That’s why for this recipe I used chicken from Good Ranchers that can be found in their Ranchers Classic box! Interested in getting your own before you start the recipe?
