Let’s Break Down the Ingredients for this Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole
I have a few notes on the ingredients to help you grab the right things at the store.
The spinach is fresh spinach, cleaned and chopped. You can swap out the fresh spinach for frozen chopped spinach. Just let it thaw, drain it, and add it in!
The chicken is cooked chicken, if you have any leftover chicken or even even turkey you can use it here. Rotisserie chicken is perfect here, too. If you’re in a pinch try my air fryer grilled chicken to use in this recipe.
Look for artichoke hearts that are not pickled. You can use pickled hearts, but the flavor will take over your casserole. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it changes it.
Other Casseroles We Love!
This Chicken Fajita Casserole is top notch and SO easy to make too! Or try this Crock Pot Chicken and Rice Casserole. Need one more idea? Try this Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole. Oh so delish!
Change Up This Recipe!
Add red pepper flakes or sriracha if you love a little kick. Or salsa would be fun too! If you want to change up your cheeses, try adding sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a change.
Got Leftovers?
You’re in luck! This casserole tastes BETTER the next day. The flavors have melded more overnight, and things just taste better that way.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. You can reheat this chicken casserole OR eat it cold. Try in a tortilla with lettuce as a wrap. That is an easy, tasty lunch right there.

Would have been nice if you mentioned in the actual recipe portion that it was cooked chicken needed. The only place it is mentioned is in the “Let’s Break Down The Ingredients For This Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole” section. Most people I know don’t read through all the tips and just “jump to recipe”.
Just a suggestion.
Sarah, It does say Cooked, Chopped Chicken. Cant be any more clear.
