A Cozy Twist on a Classic Favorite
Lately, I’ve been on a casserole kick, and this one might just be my favorite yet. Think of it as your favorite spinach artichoke dip made heartier, fresher, and more satisfying — thanks to the addition of juicy rotisserie chicken and a few lightened-up swaps.
Instead of heavy cream, I use cream cheese and Greek yogurt for a rich, tangy sauce that feels indulgent but isn’t too heavy. Baby spinach adds freshness, while marinated artichoke hearts bring that signature zesty bite. Once everything’s combined, the casserole gets topped with a generous layer of mozzarella and baked until it’s hot, melty, and beautifully golden on top.

The best part? This recipe couldn’t be easier. You can have it ready for the oven in about 10 minutes — no pre-cooking required.
- Mix the base: Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the good stuff: Fold in shredded chicken, chopped artichokes, and spinach until everything is evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the mixture into a baking dish, top with mozzarella, and bake until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve & enjoy: Scoop it up with a spoon and pair it with warm bread or a green salad.
In just about 30 minutes, you’ll have a warm, comforting dinner ready to hit the table — creamy on the inside, crisp on top, and full of flavor.
