Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, dried spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Fold in 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Top the casserole evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly throughout.
- Let the cheesy spinach chicken bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, use rotisserie chicken for your shredded chicken base.
- If you want a low carb spinach artichoke chicken option, serve this bake with lettuce cups instead of bread or crackers.
- You can prepare the entire mixture ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the bake time if cooking straight from the refrigerator.
