Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup extra shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens, around 3-4 minutes.
  • Lower heat and add the cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and smooth. Add Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Fold in the cooked chicken and chopped spinach.
  • Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the extra shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This casserole combines tender chicken pieces with fresh spinach in a luscious creamy sauce. It’s a hearty, fuss-free comfort dish with a perfectly golden top and melty cheesy finish, perfect for busy weeknights or family meals.
