Instructions

Start by combining the spinach, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, onion powder, and remaining salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Mix in the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.
Dollop the creamy spinach mixture over the seasoned chicken.
Spread it evenly across the chicken to create a nice layer of flavor.
Sprinkle the mozzarella on top, ensuring an enticing, golden finish after baking.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Check until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.
Let it cool for five minutes before serving.

Notes

Consider incorporating additional vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness, ensuring the chicken remains moist.
