Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your dish cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, chopped spinach, and chopped artichoke hearts. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth. This mixture will serve as a creamy base for your dish.
- Add the cream cheese and sour cream mixture to the chicken, spinach, and artichoke mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Incorporate the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese into the mixture. Make sure the cheeses are evenly mixed in for a cheesy flavor throughout.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remember to taste the mixture to ensure the seasoning is to your liking.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. You can use a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dish to heat through.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will make it easier to scoop out portions.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Three Chicken Spinach Artichoke dish with your favorite side or as a standalone meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can shred the chicken and chop the spinach and artichokes a day in advance. Just store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
- Experiment with Cheeses: While this recipe calls for mozzarella and Parmesan, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like gouda or cheddar for a unique twist on flavor.
- Add a Crunch: For an extra layer of texture, consider topping your dish with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers before the final 10 minutes of baking for a delightful crunch.
- Serve with Style: Pair your Three Chicken Spinach Artichoke with a fresh salad or garlic bread to create a complete meal that’s sure to impress.
- Adjust the Spice: If you love a little heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture for a spicy kick that complements the creamy base beautifully.
- Leftover Magic: This dish makes for fantastic leftovers! Store any uneaten portions in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for a quick and satisfying meal.
