I figured it was time for another bubble up recipe as it's been a while.. for those wondering "bubble up" is just a term given to the dish since you are adding biscuit dough to it and they bake up (aka. bubble up)Â into the recipe. I have several bubble up recipes that you can check out here if you wish. This chicken spinach & artichoke bubble up quickly became a new favorite, both myself and my husband devoured it ha! So much delicious flavor and just 6 smart points per serving on WW freestyle. If you are looking for an easy way to cook up some shredded chicken, I make some weekly, I add boneless skinless chicken breast to my crockpot, add in a few cups of chicken broth (enough to cover the chicken) and then cook on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken will then shred nicely and you can store it in the fridge for meals for the week.
Chicken spinach & artichoke bubble up
Ingredients
- 1- 7.5 oz package great value biscuits 10 small biscuits in the pack, I buy these in the U.S at Walmart for my Candian friends, buy the Pillsbury 340g country biscuits, 6.5 biscuits is about 7.5oz, cut each biscuit open so you have 2 pieces, then cut each piece into 6, this will give you enough biscuit pieces in total
- 4 oz light cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoon fat free mayonnaise
- â…“ cup fat free sour cream
- 2 garlic cloves diced
- 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese grated
- Dash of salt & pepper
- 3 cups fresh chopped spinach
- 1 6 oz can artichoke drained and chopped
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken 8oz
- ½ cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella *I use Trader Joe's
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F, spray a 9x13 casserole dish with some cooking spray.
- Cut your 10 small biscuits into 6 pieces each (giving you 60 pieces of dough)
- In a bowl mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan cheese, garlic and salt & pepper. Stir well.
- Chop up your artichoke and spinach and stir into mixture, then stir in your cooked shredded chicken.
- Place half of your dough pieces into the mixture and gently fold in, then place remaining biscuit pieces and gently fold in again.
- Spoon mixture into your casserole dish, spread out evenly and be sure to check there are no clumps of biscuit pieces stuck together.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, remove from oven, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top then return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
- Divide into 6 equal servings. Store in refrigerator, bubble up will freeze well.

Would frozen spinach work?
Drizzle
Yes it should work fine, just might add a bit of water overall
Jenny Goldberg
Can you use greek yogurt in place of fat free mayo?
Drizzle
Hi Jenny, yes I think that will work fine
Diane Taylor

Could this bubble-up recipe be made the day before, refrigerated and then baked the next day?
Lindsay
Could you use pasta instead of biscuits? Craving a pasta and this sounds good!
Drizzle
Yes, search pasta on my blog and I have one similar 🙂

Made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious!! Definitely going in our meal rotation, and it got a 10 out of 10 from the kids. Thanks for sharing all your great recipes.
Drizzle
Hi Nancy, that is so great to hear! I love when the kids are happy 🙂 Thanks for sharing
Anita
This sounds amazing and looking forward to trying it. Can I make this ahead of time, assemble it and then freeze it and bake it 2 or 3 days later? Or should I freeze the whole thing after I bake it? Thanks! 🙂
Drizzle
I hope you enjoy it 🙂 I typically would bake it all then freeze, it may still work the other way I just personally have not tried it
REBECCA
Do you think this could be prepped and frozen? Then taken out later to bake?
Drizzle
Hi, I have personally never tried it but I think it will work ok.
Barb
I made this last night. It was soooo freaking good! I was so jealous my boyfriend got to eat the leftovers for lunch! Fantastic recipe, thanks!!
Drizzle
Haha damn him for eating all the leftovers! So glad you both enjoyed it 🙂
Linda
Can you use fresh chicken breast cut up in pieces?
Drizzle
Hi, I think you just mean cooked cubed chicken instead of shredded right? If so then yes absolutely you can, I just tend to use shredded chicken in recipes as I usually make a batch a week in the crock pot, and I find it spreads through the dish better but cubed chicken is fine 🙂
Linda
I made it with fresh cubed chicken & it came out great!
