Ingredients
3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (plain, not marinated)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. -
Make the creamy sauce:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, heavy cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. -
Add the main ingredients:
Stir in the chicken, spinach, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup mozzarella. Mix until evenly coated. -
Assemble:
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese on top. -
Bake:
Bake for 20 minutes, then increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for another 5–7 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. -
Cool slightly and serve:
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens perfectly.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick prep shortcut. You can also use leftover grilled or baked chicken.
- Drain the spinach and artichokes thoroughly to prevent excess liquid in the casserole.
- For a little kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a handful of shredded cheddar for a flavor twist.
- Storage:
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
- Freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F until warm.
- Serving ideas: Pair it with roasted cauliflower, zucchini noodles, or a fresh green salad.
