Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole

Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole

Ingredients

Scale

16 oz cottage cheese (4% preferred)

2 garlic cloves, peeled

½ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp onion powder

1 tsp avocado or olive oil

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Kosher salt & pepper to taste

½ cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella

⅔ cup finely grated parmesan cheese

1 can (16 oz) artichoke hearts, drained & chopped

6 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Optional prep: Season chicken with salt and rest at room temp for 20 minutes (for juicy, flavorful chicken!).

Drain & prep artichokes and spinach—squeeze out all liquid. Chop artichokes finely.

Cook chicken: In a large pan with oil, cook chicken pieces for 2-3 mins per side. Set aside.

Blend cottage cheese mix: In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and onion powder until smooth.

Assemble casserole: In a 9×13″ baking dish, mix cooked chicken, spinach, artichokes, blended cottage cheese, and ⅔ of the mozzarella and parmesan. Spread evenly.

Bake covered for 20 minutes.

Uncover, top with remaining cheeses, and bake another 10 minutes. Broil briefly for a golden, bubbly top!
