How To Make "spinach and artichoke chicken alfredo"

Step 1

In 2 Tbs. olive oil and 1 Tbs. butter sauté the chicken pieces that you have sprinkled with the seasoned salt and black pepper until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove to a plate

Step 2

Add the other 3 Tbs. of butter to the skillet and melt. Slightly sauté the minced garlic. Add the 3 Tbs. flour to it and just cook enough to get rid of the flour taste.
Step 3

Whisk in the chicken broth and the milk and cook until it just boils and starts to thicken. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and parsley. Add the cream cheese cut in cubes and continue to whisk until it has melted and the sauce is very smooth.
Step 4

Add the spinach and chopped artichoke hearts and blend well. Cook just until the spinach is wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5

Mix the chicken and drained pasta into the sauce an pour into a 3 quart casserole you have sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan cheese and the cup of Mozzarella cheese. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until the top has just started to brown.
