Grilled Spinach and Artichoke Flatbread With Chicken and Sriracha Recipe

Grilled Flatbread With Chicken Spinach Artichoke

Flat breads came on the scene a couple of years ago where I live, and they quickly began stealing the show, and I know why! They are easy to make and very versatile.  You can choose to make a flat bread with or without yeast and with just about any combination of toppings imaginable.

Flat breads can be as delicious as pizza. I think for the most part that they are more creative, alleviating the worries of having the perfect pan or stone on which to cook a pizza as well as perfecting their circular shape and crust. Know what I mean?

This recipe is great because: 1) You get a deliciously different idea for a flatbread that can either be used as an entrée or cut up in smaller sections and served as an appetizer; and 2) You can save half of the spinach and artichoke dip and use it as a traditional dip. So it’s a 2-fer!

You can make the dip a day ahead and simply reheat it in a pot on the stove, then keep it warm in a small crock pot. I have been making this dip for two decades! It is a party favorite, and many ask for the recipe.

This Spinach and Artichoke Dip mingled with simple grilled chicken breasts atop a beautiful crust is crazy good! When you kick it up a notch with a Sriracha drizzle, it hits every note! My son tore it up. and so did the rest of us!

Confession: I almost never make my own pizza dough. I figure my local pizza place is excellent at making the dough, since that is what they do, and for $2.50 per disc, no mess, no stress, and no wait time? That is so worth it to me. Little do they know that I would happily pay double!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 disc of pizza or flatbread dough homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive or grapeseed oil
  • Spinach and Artichoke Dip
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • Sriracha

Instructions
 

  • Oil your grill and preheat to medium-high heat.
  • Salt and pepper your chicken breasts and grill until done. Approximately 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the size of the breasts. If you use a thermometer, grill until they reach an internal temperature of 450° to prevent them from drying out.
  • Once the chicken is done, pull from the grill and let it rest.
  • While the chicken is grilling, shape your dough into an oval or rectangular shape. Using your fingertips, coat both sides lightly with the oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place the prepared dough on a baking sheet.
  • Lower your grill heat to medium, carefully flip your dough onto the grill, close the lid, and allow it to cook 3-4 minutes. Take a peek. Lift with a spatula and check for grill marks and a crispy crust. If you have that, gently flip it over. If not, allow it to grill for another minute or two.
  • Once you’ve flipped the dough, close the lid and turn off the grill. Allow the residual heat to do the rest. In 2-3 minutes, it should be perfect!
  • Remove the bread/crust from the grill and smear it liberally with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip.
  • Slice the chicken and place in dip atop the crust. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Scatter the scallions over-top, drizzle with Sriracha, cut into portions, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Tips:
  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients, such as bell peppers or feta cheese.
