Super delish Spinach & Artichoke dip with Chicken

Okay okay….after about 6 months of consistent harassment from friends and family….I have finally decided to start posting my recipes.

1/2 – 3/4 of a package of cream cheese (I prefer the light version)

1/4 c heavy cream

About a 1/4 c Grated Parmesan Cheese

About a 1/4 c Grated Mozzarella Cheese

About 1/4 c Grated Romano cheese*

1 10 oz bag frozen spinach

1 6.5 oz jar marinated artichokes, drained

1 can premium white chunk meat chicken in water, drained

Defrost the frozen spinach in the microwave and then drain all of the water from it.  I usually dump it into a clean kitchen towel the squeeeeeze the heck out of it!

In a small casserole dish, dump in drained artichoke hearts,

In a separate bowl, microwave the cream cheese to soften (about 15 seconds or so. Add the other cheeses with cream cheese, add the heavy cream and spinach and mix thoroughly.  Add everything to the casserole dish, mix and add the  chicken.  Lightly mix.

Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and delicious.  Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers or fresh french bread!  Enjoy!
