Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped—use rotisserie for simplicity!)
- 9 oz frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry—don’t skip this part!)
- 14 oz artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, roughly chopped)
Creamy Sauce Base:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella (save some for the topping!)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with a little oil or nonstick spray.
In a big bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, mayo, garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure it’s smooth and creamy—this is what makes the dish so indulgent!
Add the chicken, spinach, and artichokes to the creamy base. Mix gently until everything is coated. (Pro tip: Make sure to squeeze all the water out of your spinach. No one likes a watery casserole!)
Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top for that melty, golden crust.
Pop it into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Then crank the heat up to 400°F (200°C) and bake for another 5 minutes to get that bubbly, golden finish.
Let it sit for a few minutes after baking—it’ll hold together better when serving. Then dig in!
Notes
Tips for Success
- Side ideas? Pair this casserole with something light, like cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or a simple side salad.
- Cheesy upgrades: Want to switch it up? Gruyère or Fontina cheese can give it an ultra-rich flavor.
- Make it faster: Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken is your secret weapon here.
Storage & Reheating
Got leftovers? Lucky you!
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
- Freezer: Assemble the casserole but don’t bake it. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed.
