Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Casseroles image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
Enough chicken soup bouillon for 2 cups broth
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thigh or breast, chopped into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce can artichokes, drained and chopped
One 10-ounce block frozen spinach, thawed and drained
8 ounces light cream cheese
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
Pinch crushed red pepper
One 16-ounce can refrigerated biscuit dough
1 large egg, lightly beaten with a splash of water
Flaky salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of kosher salt and cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the flour to evenly distribute. Add 1 cup milk, stirring continuously until thickened; repeat with the remaining 1 cup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and artichokes will give your bake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this bake, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese are both good options.
  • Season the bake well: Don't be afraid to season the bake with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the chicken, spinach, and artichokes.
  • Serve immediately: This bake is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will start to dry out if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken Spinach and Artichoke Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful spinach and artichokes, this bake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
