The rustic, earthy flavor of Tuscan inspired spices and the creamy, cheesy sauce of this artichoke chicken alfredo casserole work together to design a dish that you’ll love.
The inspiration behind creating this dish was a craving for artichoke, cheese, and chicken on my behalf, and for chicken alfredo on my hubby’s half. The logical conclusion, of course, was to combine our two cravings into a single dish!
The spices and herbs in the dish carry distinct, earthy, Italian notes and the creamy, cheesy sauce ties it all together. The resulting dish is Trim Healthy Mama friendly and serves as a great comfort food.

thanks, I will try it. Love the taste of artichokes
This would be a crossover right?
Hi, Diane! Nope, as long as Dreamfields brand pasts is being used, this would be an S. In my recipe card, I have a label that says “Fuel Source” and it tells what the fuel source is (also, the title usually has it as well) for future reference. 🙂 On THM, it is recommended to stick to one single serving because of the Dreamfields pasta.
Could I sub sour cream for the mayo?
Hi, Beth. Yes, you can, but it will alter the taste a bit. 🙂 Let me know how it goes for you!
We really love mushrooms in our house. Would it be bad to add double or triple the mushrooms to this recipe?
That should be fine. 🙂
