Ingredients

  • 12 oz uncooked ziti pasta
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt divided
  • ½ tsp black pepper divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 10 oz frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Season the diced chicken with ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly golden. Remove from heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the Greek yogurt and milk until fully combined and creamy.
  • Mix in ¾ cup mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and remaining salt and pepper.
  • Add the cooked pasta, chicken, spinach, and chopped artichokes to the bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the top is lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
