FAQ’S:

Q1: Can I use non-marinated artichoke hearts instead of marinated ones?
A: Yes! You can use marinated artichoke hears that are not marinated. Marinated artichoke hearts add extra flavor, but non-marinated ones work well too.

Q2: What type of chicken should I use?
A: You can use cooked and shredded chicken breast, rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken. Any cooked chicken will work as long as it’s not seasoned with conflicting flavors.

Q3: Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
A: Definitely! Assemble the casserole and refrigerate it (covered) for up to 24 hours before baking.

Q4: How do I make this recipe low-carb or keto-friendly?
A: This casserole is naturally low in carbs already. Use full-fat cheese and cream cheese for keto.

Q5: What cheese works best in this recipe?
A: Cheese blends, mozzarella, parmesan, and cream cheese make a perfect trio. You can also mix in Monterey jack, Gruyère, or a little cheddar for added richness and flavor.

Q6: Can I add vegetables or pasta to this dish?
A: Absolutely! Spinach, mushrooms, water chestnuts or cooked pasta can be added to stretch the dish or increase the veggie content. If adding pasta, cook and drain first. You can reduce the amount of chicken slightly to balance.
