Ingredients
2
tablespoons
olive oil
1/2
medium
white onion, thinly sliced
3
cloves
garlic, minced
16
oz
baby spinach
10
oz
frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and roughly chopped
4
tablespoons
unsalted butter
1/4
cup
all-purpose flour
2
cups
milk, warmed
2
teaspoons
Italian seasoning
2
cups
Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1/2
cup
parmesan cheese, grated
3
cups
shredded cooked chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add spinach and chopped artichokes and cook until spinach wilts. Remove mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in warm milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until thickened and smooth.
Stir in Italian seasoning, Monterey Jack cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Add sauce to the spinach-artichoke mixture along with the shredded chicken. Mix to combine.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish, top with parmesan cheese, and bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Great for using up leftover chicken. For a lower-carb option, substitute cauliflower rice for white rice.
