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 Sauces
- 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
Seasonings
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy base: 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 thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Mix in the main ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, well-drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and grated parmesan cheese to the creamy base. Mix everything well until fully combined, ensuring even distribution of all ingredients.
- Assemble the casserole: Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with nonstick spray. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top to create a cheesy crust.
- Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the oven and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Then, increase the oven temperature to 400°F and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until the cheese topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- 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
- Ensure the frozen spinach is thoroughly thawed and well drained to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a homemade keto-friendly version or omit if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika to the creamy mixture.
- This casserole can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
