Prepare to fall in love with this Creamy Chicken Spinach Artichoke Casserole!
If Spinach Artichoke Dip is one of your favorite dishes, I think you will be delighted with this casserole. And don’t you just love having your entire meal in one dish. I know I do.
You can always buy a pre-made Alfredo Sauce, however, I think this type of sauce is best homemade. And in this case, I think it should be especially creamy with the combination of butter, whipping cream and cream cheese…yum!
