  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained

  • 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Make the Spinach Artichoke Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  4. Add Spinach and Artichokes: Fold the thawed and drained spinach and chopped artichoke hearts into the sour cream mixture until evenly distributed.

  5. Assemble the Casserole: Evenly spread the spinach artichoke mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring each piece is well covered.

  6. Top with Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the spinach artichoke layer.

  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy casserole on its own or with a side of rice or pasta for a complete meal.
