Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time on busy nights.
  • Drain the artichoke hearts well before chopping to avoid a watery casserole.
  • You can swap cottage cheese for ricotta if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • This casserole freezes well. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Add red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
