A delightful and creamy chicken casserole with a twist of spinach and artichokes, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a casserole dish.
Greasing the dish helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together.
Mix in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Combine the chicken, artichoke hearts, spinach, salt, and pepper into the skillet.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for uniform baking.
In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.
Ensure the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with butter for a golden crust.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious casserole.
Pair with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
