GRILLED CHICKEN SPINACH ARTICHOKE MELT

  • Author: Chef Olga
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches 1x

Description

Some recipes feel like they were destined to become comfort food classics, and the Grilled Chicken Spinach Artichoke Melt is one of them. Inspired by the beloved spinach artichoke dip often served at gatherings and celebrations, this sandwich transforms those creamy, cheesy flavors into a hearty meal that is both comforting and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Spinach Artichoke Filling In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese,
    Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts until evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Bread Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This helps create the crisp, golden crust that makes grilled sandwiches so
    irresistible.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches Place four slices of bread butter-side down on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the spinach artichoke mixture onto each slice. Top with shredded or sliced chicken. Add an extra sprinkle of mozzarella cheese if desired. Place the remaining bread slices on top with the buttered sides facing outward.
  4. Step 4: Grill the Sandwiches Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches onto the hot surface and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cook until the bread becomes golden brown and crisp while the cheese melts
    completely.
  5. Step 5: Finish and Serve Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to rest for a minute
    before slicing. The filling will be hot and creamy, making each bite of the Grilled Chicken
    Spinach Artichoke Melt incredibly satisfying. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken is an excellent time-saving option.
Mozzarella provides great meltability, but provolone also works well.
Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
For extra crunch, lightly toast the bread before assembling.
Leftover spinach artichoke filling can be used as a dip.
