Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the chicken pieces in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Stir in the squeezed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
  8. Pour the chicken and spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  11. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Squeezing the water out of the spinach is a key step for a creamy, non-watery casserole.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation time.
  • Feel free to add a dash of cayenne pepper if you like a little heat.
