Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole:

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (or 2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and drained)

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Spinach: If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. For frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Chicken and Spinach: Add the shredded chicken and spinach to the creamy sauce. Stir to combine evenly.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the chicken-spinach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
