Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with a mix of mushrooms and zucchini for a hearty vegetarian casserole.
Cheese Swap: Try swapping mozzarella for cheddar or a combination of your favorite cheeses for different flavors.
Spice It Up: Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to kick up the heat.
Add More Veggies: For extra nutrition, mix in other vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or artichokes.
Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole up to the point of baking, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
