Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the kale and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, squeeze out any moisture and dry very well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden on some sides and most of the pink is no longer visible, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon (the chicken will not be fully cooked).
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add another tablespoon of oil if the skillet is dry, then add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to dissolve the flour, then stir in the chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer while stirring. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the kale, artichokes and cayenne, then add the chicken and any collected juices. Cook, stirring, until the kale and artichokes are hot and the chicken is just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
- Preheat the broiler to high. Spray an 8-inch broiler-proof baking dish with cooking spray and spoon the mixture inside. Top with the panko and remaining tablespoon Parmesan. Broil about 3 inches from the element until golden brown in spots, about 3 minutes.

SARASOTA'S CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE AND SHRIMP CASSEROLE
This to me is a great casserole to use up leftovers.After a dinner party one night, I had some leftover chicken and shrimp, but not enough to make a dish out of each, and wanted to use them up. So, I raided the fridge and pantry and basically grabbed ingredients I thought would work well together, and this was the result. Now this was almost 20 years ago. So, I am guessing, the shrimp was frozen, chicken was probably leftover from a baked whole chicken which works fine and the mushrooms, probably button mushrooms. It is nothing difficult, but it has such a great flavor and it is easy to put together. Now to even stretch the cost of the casserole even further, I love to serve this over toasted baguettes. Using leftover chicken is a great way to empty out your fridge, and the shrimp ... today you can get frozen shrimp (extra large or large) are honestly - they are not all that bad. In FL, I just got extra large previously frozen like most, but they steamed them at the seafood counter and they were only 3.99 lb. How can you go wrong. It gets even easier with pre-sliced mushrooms from the produce section and a can of artichoke hearts. So creamy, rich, filling and easy. It does take 30-45 minutes to bake, but putting together is pretty easy. Besides, served over toasted baguettes and a simple side of fresh fruit or tomato slices make for a easy dinner.

Steps:
- Casserole -- Use 1/2 tablespoon to grease a 11x13" casserole dish or one similar in size or even a bit smaller. Add the cooked chicken, shrimp, and artichokes and set to the side.
- Mushrooms and Sauce -- In a large saute pan, add 1/2 tablespoon butter and bring to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and scallions and cook 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Then in the same sauce pan, add in the butter for the sauce and melt on medium heat. Then stir in the flour mixing well to combine. Slowly add in the sherry, worcestershire sauce and the half and half or light cream whisking or stirring as you add the liquid until you get a smooth sauce. Check for seasoning, salt and pepper and bring to a light boil. Just medium to medium high heat. The sauce will naturally thicken. You want the consistency like gravy. If necessary, you can add a bit more cream if it is too thick, but it should be just about right.
- Casserole -- Top the casserole with the parmesan cheese and the paprika and bake in a 350 degree oven on the middle shelf for 30-45 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Uncovered. Remove, cover with foil and let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Bread -- I love to stretch the cost of the dinner out and serve this over grilled slices of baguettes. 1-2 slices per person and NO butter or olive oil required. Just brown under the boiler and top with the casserole. Makes a perfect dish.
- Serve -- A nice salad is perfect with this. ENJOY!

What is Artichoke Chicken Casserole Recipe?
Artichoke chicken casserole recipes are flavorful and hearty dishes that combine tender chicken, artichoke hearts, and a creamy sauce, baked to perfection in a casserole dish. These recipes are typically made using simple ingredients that are easy to find, and they take minimal effort to prepare.Preparation and Cooking
To make an artichoke chicken casserole, one typically needs to start by cooking the chicken. Depending on the recipe, the chicken may be sautéed on the stovetop or baked in the oven. Once cooked, the chicken is then shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Next comes the sauce. The sauce used in artichoke chicken casserole recipes is typically a combination of cream-based sauces, such as Alfredo or white sauce, with a touch of sour cream or Greek yogurt for added tanginess. The sauce is then seasoned with herbs and spices such as garlic, thyme, and rosemary, to add flavor and depth to the dish. The artichoke hearts are added to the sauce for a touch of tanginess and texture. This mixture is then combined with the cooked chicken to create the main body of the casserole. Before the dish can be baked, it is typically topped with breadcrumbs, cheese, or both. The breadcrumbs offer a crunchy texture to the top of the casserole while the cheese provides a gooey, melted layer of goodness. This combination of textures is a key aspect of what makes artichoke chicken casserole recipes so delicious. Once the casserole is fully assembled, it is baked in the oven until the top is golden brown and the inside is hot and bubbly. The end result is an indulgent and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.Variations of Artichoke Chicken Casseroles
While artichoke chicken casserole recipes typically follow the basic steps outlined above, there are numerous variations on this classic dish that add unique flavors and textures. Some recipes call for the addition of spinach or other leafy greens for added nutrition and depth of flavor. Others use different cheeses or add in a variety of vegetables to give the casserole a more robust profile. Another popular variation on this classic dish replaces the cream-based sauce with a tomato-based sauce, creating a spicy, tangy flavor that complements the artichoke hearts and chicken perfectly. Ultimately, the variations on artichoke chicken casserole recipes are limited only by the imagination of the cook. Whether one chooses to follow a classic recipe or create a customized version of the dish, the end result is sure to be a comforting and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion.Artichoke chicken casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for dinner parties, family gatherings, or even a weeknight dinner. This dish is made with chicken, artichokes, cheese, and other ingredients that make it an irresistible comfort food. In this article, you will learn valuable tips on how to make the perfect artichoke chicken casserole recipe that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more!
Tip #1: Choose the right chicken
The key to a perfect artichoke chicken casserole recipe is using the right chicken. You want to use chicken breasts with the skin on and bone-in. The skin on the chicken adds flavor and helps to keep the chicken moist during cooking. The bone-in chicken adds flavor, but you can also use boneless chicken if you prefer. It is important to note that using boneless chicken will reduce the cooking time, so be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Tip #2: Use fresh artichokes
Fresh artichokes are the best option for artichoke chicken casserole recipes. They have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned artichokes, which can be too salty and overpowering. Fresh artichokes can be intimidating to work with, but with a little practice, they are easy to prepare. Simply trim the stem, remove the tough outer leaves, and cut the top off of the artichoke. Then, using a spoon, scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center. Once the artichokes are trimmed, you can chop them into bite-sized pieces and use them in your casserole.
Tip #3: Add additional vegetables
You can add additional vegetables to your artichoke chicken casserole recipe to increase the nutritional value and add more flavor. Vegetables like broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers are great options. Be sure to chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and sauté them before adding them to the casserole. This will ensure that they are tender and cooked through.
Tip #4: Use the right cheese
The cheese you use in your artichoke chicken casserole recipe can make all the difference in the flavor of the dish. A combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheese is a classic choice that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. However, you can mix it up and try different cheeses like cheddar, feta, or goat cheese to give your casserole a unique and flavorful twist.
Tip #5: Add a crispy topping
A crispy topping can take your artichoke chicken casserole recipe to the next level. You can use breadcrumbs, panko, or crushed crackers to create a crispy and crunchy texture on top of your casserole. Simply mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle them over the top of the casserole before baking. This will create a delicious and satisfying texture that everyone will love.
Tip #6: Get creative with seasonings
Seasonings are an important part of any dish, and the same goes for artichoke chicken casserole. While salt and pepper are essential, you can get creative with other seasonings to give your casserole a unique and flavorful taste. Oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary are great options that pair well with chicken and artichokes. You can also add a dash of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
Tip #7: Don't overcook the chicken
The biggest mistake you can make when making artichoke chicken casserole is overcooking the chicken. The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, which will ensure that it is cooked through and safe to eat. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough, which can ruin the texture of your casserole. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your chicken and remove it from the oven as soon as it reaches 165°F.
Conclusion
Artichoke chicken casserole is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these valuable tips, you can make the perfect artichoke chicken casserole recipe that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more. Remember to choose the right chicken, use fresh artichokes, add additional vegetables, use the right cheese, add a crispy topping, get creative with seasonings, and most importantly, don't overcook the chicken!
