Family Dinners
Our family really loves this creamy Chicken Artichoke Casserole. We fill ours with onions, spinach, artichokes and big chunky chicken to make this keto friendly dinner….and it has 6 servings.
Double the recipe and bake in a 9×13 casserole dish to feed a crowd or to have as leftovers.
Chicken-buy it or make it
Use a store bought chicken or make your own for this Chicken Artichoke Casserole. You will get now judgement from me either way, just start with cooked chicken on this recipe.
Having chicken already made makes this dinner come together in about 30 minutes if you move fast…which you know I like to do.
I make my own Rotisserie Chicken every week in my Instant Pot. It’s a routine I have had from the beginning and has led to much of my success in getting healthy meals like Chicken Artichoke Casserole on the table fast.
Instant Pot Chicken
It’s almost second nature for me now, however I do know that a $5 ready made Costco rotisserie chicken is hard to compete against.
Nevertheless I created a recipe to help you make your own rotisserie chicken in your own kitchen with little effort and a few extra bonuses.
Bonuses like not having to drive all the way to Costco and fight the lines. And…using better chicken that’s of your choosing and hence a little better and healthier Chicken Artichoke Casserole.
The last bonus of your own Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken is the amazing bone broth created when you’re done with the chicken in the instant pot. Don’t believe me? Check out this gallery…

Chicken Artichoke Casserole
Get started…
For your Chicken Artichoke Casserole you want to start by heating a large skillet with sliced onions in olive oil. As the onions start to soften add in the spinach and canned chopped artichokes. Season with salt and pepper.
At first the spinach will seem large and over flowing your skillet. Don’t worry. The spinach will wilt down with the heat of the onions and artichoke. Keep stirring and flipping the spinach in the skillet.
The creamy mixture
In a large bowl mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, garlic, parmesan cheese, and jalapeños. The cream cheese should be super soft so everything will cream together easily with a fork.
Assembly
The next part of your Chicken Artichoke Casserole is to add your chopped chicken and spinach mixture to your creamed cheese mixture bowl.
Toss all the ingredients together to fully coat and combine your vegetables, chicken and cheese sauce. Spread your mixture into your casserole dish and smooth with the back of your rubber spatula.
The last part is simply sprinkling red pepper and mozzarella cheese. The red pepper flakes are totally optional, but add a nice balance to the creamy texture of this casserole.
Last part
I use a smaller 6×10″ casserole dish. This size works for us as this gives us 6 servings. However if I’m batch cooking I’ll make double and freeze one casserole and bake the other.
This is recipe for Chicken Artichoke Casserole can easily be double and baked in a 9×13″ casserole dish to feed a crowd.
Bake
Pop your casserole dish into a 400* oven for 15 minutes. Remember that everything is already cooked. You are simply reheating everything so it all melts together.
When the buzzer goes off for your Chicken Artichoke Casserole turn your oven to broil and set time for 1-2 minutes. Don’s walk away. You want the top of your family dinner to get a little brown and crispy.
