  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, sauté onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add thawed, drained spinach to skillet and cook 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture. Remove from heat.

  5. Stir oregano, salt, and pepper into sauce. Add cooked chicken and spinach mixture. Fold together until evenly coated.
  6. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Mix breadcrumbs, melted butter, and remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle over casserole.
  8. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  10. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much liquid as possible from thawed spinach to prevent watery casserole.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick shortcut.
  • Can be assembled 24 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking.
  • For crispy topping, broil for last 2 minutes of cooking time.
