Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- 9 ounce package frozen spinach (thawed and well drained)
- 14 ounces artichoke hearts (plain, chopped)
Dairy and Creamy Components
- 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Flavorings
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy mixture: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well until fully blended and smooth.
- Mix in remaining ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, well-drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and grated Parmesan cheese to the creamy mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Assemble the casserole: Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with nonstick spray. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese to cover the surface.
- Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Then, increase the oven temperature to 400°F and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly on top.
- Cool and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the thawed spinach to prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
- Using room temperature cream cheese ensures easier mixing and a smoother texture in the casserole.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a homemade version for a fresher taste.
- For a dairy-free version, try substituting cheeses and creams with suitable plant-based alternatives.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
