Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 14 oz Canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Fold in the chopped chicken, artichoke hearts, sautéed spinach, 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for added texture. Then, sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
