This chicken spinach artichoke casserole might just be your new favorite dinner recipe if you love spinach artichoke dip. It's easy to make in with fresh ingredients like baby spinach and boneless skinless chicken breast.

This chicken artichoke and spinach casserole recipe is made in one baking dish making cleanup easy. You all know I'm all for easy cleanup.

This absolutely delicious dinner recipe is sure to be a hit on busy weeknights when you want a hot meal. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice. If you are looking for a casserole recipe that uses ground beef then our Ravioli Casserole recipe would be perfect.

Ingredients Needed

To make this simple baked casserole recipe we start with four boneless skinless chicken breasts. I have found that cutting the chicken in half lengthwise minimizes the cooking time. Plus this is a good way to stretch out a protein source to feed more. I also made sure to trim all the extra fat off them.

Most of the time recipes like this one I like to use softened cream cheese. Softened cream cheese is easier to work with so the mayo and parmesan cheese was easily mixed in with the cream cheese.

All the ingredients needed to make creamy baked spinach artichoke chicken casserole bake.

Fresh baby spinach is used but frozen spinach can be used. You will want to make sure the frozen spinach is thawed and any extra water is removed before adding to the recipe. Marinated artichoke hearts mixed with fresh spinach brings in so much flavor.

To make this spinach artichoke chicken bake even more cheesy it's topped with mozzarella cheese. Once this was baked I did place it under the broiler to give the mozzarella cheese and chicken a golden brown color.

How To Make Spinach Artichoke Dip

In a large mixing bowl add the softened cream cheese, I like to start working it up in the bowl before adding the other ingredients. Then add in the mayo, parmesan cheese, and seasonings mix until these ingredients are well combined.

For the fresh baby spinach, I do like to give it a rough chop. It may look like you are using too much spinach but spinach does shirk when cooked. As I chop the spinach I add it into the cream cheese mixture.

The marinated artichoke hearts are drained from the oil and then chopped. I do think the artichokes should be a bit finer than what the spinach may have been. These are then added to the cream cheese mixture.

Is spinach artichoke chicken healthy? Even though this casserole recipe is made with boneless skinless chicken breasts and fresh spinach. It is made with other ingredients that are higher in fat.

Mix all these ingredients together then place on top of the chicken breast that has been placed into a casserole dish. I used a 9x13 baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and bake.

Questions Answered

This is a low-carb and high-fat type of recipe. To make it healthier you could replace the cream cheese and mayo with Greek Yogurt. Our Healthy Tuscan Chicken Pasta is a healthier chicken recipe.

How long does spinach artichoke chicken need to bake for?

This chicken spinach artichoke casserole needs to be baked for 30-40 minutes in a preheated 350℉ oven.

What should the internal temperature of the chicken breast be?

To make sure the chicken breast is fully cooked you can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 165 degrees.

Can frozen spinach be used in replacement of fresh?

Yes, frozen spinach can be used, it should be thawed and any extra water removed from it.

Can the mozzarella be replaced?

In replacement of mozzarella, you could use Italian cheese, pepper Jack, or Gouda.

To give the spinach artichoke chicken a golden brown color place it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. We hope you enjoyed this easy casserole recipe.
