This Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole is what happens when comfort food meets dinner shortcut. It’s creamy, cozy, and tastes like your favorite dip decided to grow up and become an actual meal.

Ingredient Notes
- Heavy Cream: You want to use full-fat heavy cream. Half and half works if you are not keto.
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream ceese
- Garlic Powder: This is a great way to add flavor without chopping fresh garlic.
- Spinach: I used frozen spinach for this recipe because it is more convenient. You could use fresh spinach, but you must cook it down in a large skillet before adding it to the casserole.
- Artichoke Hearts: I like to use canned artichoke hearts because they are already cooked and ready to use. You can find them in the canned vegetable aisle at your grocery store. Use water-packed to avoid too much oil in your casserole.
- Chicken: I used cooked and cubed chicken breast for this recipe, but you could also use rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken.
- Mozzarella Cheese: I used mozzarella cheese because it melts well, but you could also use cheddar cheese if you prefer.
Tips & Tricks
- I recommend cooking the chicken ahead of time, so it is already cooked and ready to go when you make the casserole.
- If you don't have any cream cheese on hand, you could use sour cream or Greek yogurt in its place. The spinach chicken artichoke casserole will not be quite thick, but it is still delicious.
Serving Suggestions
This artichoke spinach chicken casserole is delicious on its own, but you could also serve it with a side of Keto Broccoli or Brussels Sprouts.
Want to serve this over something? This casserole is great over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice. I'm also partial to serving this with my keto tortilla chips.
You could also turn this into a hearty meal by serving it with a side salad and bread. Try my Cheese Breadsticks or Keto Garlic Knots.
Making Ahead
I would recommend adding an extra 10 minutes to the bake time if you are baking it from cold.
(Remember, never put a cold glass or ceramic casserole dish in a warm oven!)
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole
First, start by preheating your oven to 350° F. Then, spray an 8 x 8 casserole dish with cooking spray and set it aside.


Next, you will need to heat the cream, chicken broth, and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts.
Once the butter has melted, add the cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the cream cheese melts, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.


Then, stir in the spinach, artichokes, and chicken. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
Finally, top with mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and feta cheese. Cook for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.


Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Jeanie says
I made it almost exactly as written. I substituted ColbyJack for the shredded parm and Gouda for the feta (because I didn't have either. I used a 5 oz package of fresh baby spinach and it cooked up just fine--no need to precook. Absolutely decadent and delicious! (I had previously asked about using the air fryer oven instead of the oven in the hot summer but ended up using the regular oven instead.)
Jeanie says
Could this be baked in the air fryer oven, subtracting.25 of the time and temp?
Wendy Polisi says
Yes - just watch for too much browning and tent with foil if you need to. We use our air fryer oven for casseroles all the time if we've got something in the big oven.
Deanna says
This was so good! It's going to be a regular at our low carb house. My son asked to take leftovers to school for lunch!
Wendy Polisi says
I am so glad you all enjoyed it! I can't tell you how happy it makes me that your son loved it enough to take for lunch.
Sue Wilks says
Could I put this together and refrigerate to bake later in the day?
Jean Painter says
This is delicious. What's the best order to layer the cheese?
Shirley Collins says
Absolutely delicious.
Jean Painter says
Could crumbled blue cheese be substituted for crumbled Feta?
Wendy Polisi says
Yes - that would be really good!
