Notes
Use skinless, boneless chicken for tenderness
Full-fat cream cheese preferred for richer flavor; Neufchâtel cheese can be used for a lighter option
Greek yogurt may substitute sour cream for a tangier taste
Thoroughly drain frozen spinach and artichoke hearts to prevent sogginess
Fresh spinach can be used if steamed and chopped
Marinated artichoke hearts add more zesty flavor
Freshly grated Parmesan is recommended for better flavor
Minced fresh garlic can replace garlic powder for a more intense flavor
Casseroles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days
