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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped chicken, artichoke hearts, sautéed spinach, 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
