Spinach & Artichoke Casserole with Chicken and Cauliflower Rice

Very good. I read the previous reviews and made this after the recipe was updated. The recipe calls for 2 garlic cloves, I added 5- perfect and not too much (unless you don’t like garlic). Also, I used liberal salt and pepper on the chicken and then added even more when the spinach, riced cauliflower and everything else was added. I didn’t measure the salt-salt , but going by previous reviews, I knew this recipe was seriously under-seasoned. With these changes, the recipe was very tasty. Oh, and I also added more Dill Havarti on the top before putting in the oven. Yum. Will make again.

To start, this recipe was recommended in an article featuring anti-inflammatory meal ideas. So, the fact that it isn't loaded with salt isn't surprising.

The dish is a very clever idea and I'm so glad I found it.

However, the fact that the recipe doesn't call for anything to give it the sour/tangy/zippy punch that most Spinach Artichoke dips have was surprising. Adding half cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt accomplishes this nicely. (Ha! I see that the recipe use to call for Greek yogurt and they changed the recipe, removing that. Don't do that. It needs the sour cream or greek yogurt.)

I added about a tablespoon of Miso paste to the chicken (I used thigh meat per preference) when it was cooking, as well as about half of an onion. The flavor and texture were perfect for this casserole.

I used lacinto kale, because I didn't have spinach.

I used Costco jarred marinated artichoke hearts, well drained.

I subbed out the cream cheese for cottage cheese for even MORE protein with the same creamy effect.

I also added a grip of fresh chopped sage, about 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, and sprinkled a LOT of sliced garlic on the top layer of cheese.

Baked for only 15 minutes and then broiled for an extra 2 minutes to get the cheese on top nicely crispy and make sure those top garlic slices were fully cooked.

In the end, it didn't strike me as much more work than any other casserole, and I accomplished the flavor of the original dish' namesake without sacrificing the "healthiness" of the recipe as is.

This turned out way better than I expected. You can make it go farther by serving it over pasta. Also, I personally hate cutting raw chicken, so I bought boned chicken breasts, baked them in the oven, and then removed the meat from the bone before chopping it. This saves time and also adds more flavor to the chicken. Overall, this was a super good recipe!!!

So I read the reviews before I made this. Apparently it had gone through some revisions. I made the version with cream cheese but used mozzarella and added dried dill. Also added onion salt and extra cheese. Put a little bread crumbs on the top. You need to balance the veggies with good flavors. We loved it!

Lots of good ingredients but too bland and watery. Ingredients list does not match recipe. I omitted the chicken broth (thankfully), and used the yogurt and havarti rather than the sour cream and mozzarella. I also added more salt and pepper and a good sprinkling of red pepper flakes before adding the cheese on top. Made it taste better. Poured off the extra liquid once it cooled down some.

TAKE THIS RECIPE DOWN. This was not palatable. We threw the entire casserole away. With all the vegetables and no binder, we ended up with a soupy tasteless casserole. This was after adding additional seasoning. Sorry, nice concept, but needs work. Also ingredients within the directions are different than what is on the ingredient list.

Very good flavor.

I liked the recipe but I didn't measure the cheese - I think there may have been more cheese in my version! I also added some italian seasoning when i was sauteeing the chicken.

The only other suggested change I would make is either use marinated artichokes or add the juice from a lemon or some balsamic vinegar. I think that would be a good addition and maybe solve the blandness complaint.

There is a seasoning mistake in the recipe. 1/4 teaspoon salt for 4 cups of cauliflower rice? You are going to have very, very bland dish.

I really liked the recipe but knew that from the only seasonings being salt and pepper....I would have to kick it up a notch. I made sure to season the spinach with a a little salt and pepper before mixing into the chicken mixture. I seasoned the cauliflower rice and the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and some oregano. I mixed all of this together and then before I put that top layer of cheese on it...I sprinkled a little more garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on top and put the rest of the cheese on it. It came out delicious!

Thought it was A LOT of work. It tasted OK. I didn't think it was as bland as other reviewers but I did add salt. I had frozen artichoke hearts so that's what I used and that worked. But although it tasted OK, it was too much time and effort to make again.

I added way more salt and pepper across the whole casserole and 5 cloves of garlic, but it was still pretty bland. Even though using artichoke hearts that were canned made it easier, they were also sour and hard.

Tasteless, had to smother it with salsa in order to eat it . I will never try another recipe without ratings.
