1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Fold in the chopped spinach and chopped artichoke hearts until evenly distributed.

Notes
If using frozen spinach, ensure you thaw it completely and squeeze out all excess water to prevent a watery casserole. For a lower calorie version, use non-fat plain Greek yogurt. This dish stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
