Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cooked and shredded
3 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup light cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth using a spatula.
Fold in shredded chicken, baby spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and half the mozzarella cheese. Use a gentle hand to avoid mashing the spinach.
Transfer mixture to the casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Cheese Swap: Use low-fat Havarti or Gouda in place of mozzarella for a unique flavor.
Add Fresh Herbs: Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped dill or basil for extra brightness.
