Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

  3. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken and sautéed spinach mixture until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken or topping with red pepper flakes.
