Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional for topping)

2 tablespoons olive oil (if using panko topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, thawed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

      Grease the Casserole Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

        Transfer to Dish: Spoon the chicken and spinach artichoke mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

          Prepare the Topping (optional): If you’d like a crunchy topping, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil in a small bowl until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

              Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious main dish, enjoying it with a side salad or your favorite bread!
