Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, artichoke hearts, cooked spinach, Greek yogurt, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top of the casserole.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, high-protein casserole!

Notes

Frozen spinach can be used instead of fresh. Just thaw and squeeze out any excess water.

For a gluten-free version, skip the breadcrumbs or use a gluten-free alternative.

This dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for later baking.

The casserole can be frozen before baking. Thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as directed.

For more flavor, add red pepper flakes, lemon juice, or fresh herbs like basil or thyme.
