Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise preferably homemade
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ cup chopped cooked bacon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 8 ounces canned artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup softened cream cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped artichoke hearts, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly until smooth.
- Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate the shredded rotisserie chicken into the mixture, blending until all chicken pieces are thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top. Distribute the chopped bacon across the surface.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until bubbling at the edges. Switch the oven to broil and toast the surface for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the top is attractively golden and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for several minutes before serving to let the cheeses firm slightly for better slicing and texture.
Notes
Allowing the casserole to rest after baking enhances its texture, making it easier to serve clean portions. This dish is ideal for repurposing leftover chicken and can be customized with additional vegetables or herbs if desired.
