Total Time 45 minutes mins
- 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast cubed
- 2 cups parmesan cheese
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
- 14 oz canned artichoke hearts drained and chopped
Cheese Mixture
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp garlic minced
Topping
- 1 cup gluten free corn flakes crushed to a crumb mixture
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread the cubed chicken evenly across the bottom of a greased baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, thawed spinach, and chopped artichoke hearts.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and minced garlic until smooth. Fold this mixture into the spinach and artichoke mixture.
Spread the spinach artichoke cheese mixture evenly over the cubed chicken in the baking dish.
Crush the gluten-free corn flakes to a fine crumb texture. Mix with the melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the spinach artichoke mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crisp.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pair it with a side salad or gluten-free bread for a complete meal.

Drain the Spinach Well
Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid excess moisture, which can make the dish watery. Press it with a paper towel if needed.

Customize the Topping
Don’t have gluten-free corn flakes? Substitute with gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers for a similar crunch.
-
Make it Spicy
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture for a little heat.
