How to make Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole
- Chicken breast
- Cream cheese
- Mayonnaise
- Dijon mustard
- Garlic cloves
- Parmesan cheese
- Mozarella cheese
- Marinated artichokes
- Fresh spinach (or also frozen)
- Salt and pepper
Start by preparing a 9×13 casserole dish. Lightly grease with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375 F. Place the chicken breast in the dish and sprinkley with some salt and pepper.
Using an electric better, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and garlic. Stir in some salt and pepper, then add most of the mozarella and parmesan (reserve some for the top). Fold in the artichokes and spinach, then spoon the mixture on top of the chicken. Top with extra mozarella and parmesan!
Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You can also bump up the temperature to 425 for the last 5 minutes to get it extra golden and brown.
Serving and Storing
Serve: The best way to serve is over cauliflower rice, rice, or pasta. Need a faster option? You can cook rice using my 10-minute easy rice hack and you will have it ready in no time!
Storing: store in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can make individual portions to enjoy for meal prep. Another option is to store in the freezer in a freezer friendly container for up to 3 months! To reheat from frozen, allow to that at room temperature for 4 hours. Then cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 15 minutes (or until casserole is warmed through).

Great recipe ! I like also that you don’t have to pre-cook the chicken . My husband follows a reduced carb diet prescribed by his doctor and this works well with that. I served with cauliflower rice.
made this last night, served with rice pilaf and salad. I can’t stop thinking about how good this is. It will be on dinner rotation for sure. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
