Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 14 oz canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the thawed and squeezed dry spinach and the chopped artichoke hearts. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the spinach and artichoke mixture. Stir gently to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Top the casserole with the shredded mozzarella cheese and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream cheese mixture.
- If you prefer a little heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added.
- Ensure the spinach is very well squeezed to avoid a watery casserole.
