I like to make this chicken artichoke casserole when I want a comforting, creamy dish that feels both hearty and flavorful. The combination of tender chicken and tangy artichokes creates a rich, satisfying meal that comes together easily.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy how this casserole blends creamy textures with a slightly bright, savory flavor from the artichokes. It’s a great way to use simple ingredients while still ending up with something that feels special. I also appreciate how it can be prepared ahead of time and baked when needed.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • cream cheese, softened
  • sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • mayonnaise
  • garlic, minced
  • onion, finely chopped
  • mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • Italian seasoning

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly greasing a baking dish. In a large bowl, I mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.

I stir in the garlic, onion, and seasonings, then fold in the cooked chicken and chopped artichoke hearts. I mix everything until well combined.

I transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. I sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.

I bake the casserole until it is heated through and the top is lightly browned. I let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 4 to 6 servings from this recipe.
Prep time takes around 15 minutes, and baking takes about 25–30 minutes, so it’s ready in about 40–45 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add spinach for extra color and nutrition. When I want a lighter version, I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and reduce the mayonnaise. I also like adding a breadcrumb topping for a bit of crunch.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm it in the oven or microwave until heated through. I prefer the oven to keep the texture nice and creamy.

What can I serve with this casserole?

I like serving it with rice, pasta, or a simple salad.
