CHICKEN AND SPINACH PULL-APART BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken And Spinach Pull-Apart Bread Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, pepper, salt, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, whole milk

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Sides

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ lb rotisserie chicken
10 oz cream cheese, softened
⅔ cup spinach, cooked and drained
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
2 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in another large mixing bowl. Cut unsalted butter into small chunks and add to bowl or use a cheese grater to grate butter into smaller pieces.
  • Use a fork to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture. Add milk and stir the dough until it is thick and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured, flat surface. Pat the dough down to about 1-inch (2 cm) in thickness, fold in half, and pat down once more to 1-inch (2 cm) in thickness. Cover with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • While dough rests, combine chicken, cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll out dough out to about ½-centimeter (¼ inch) thickness. Use the lip of a cup to cut out 45 circles.
  • Remove chicken spinach dip from the refrigerator and fill each dough circle with 1 tablespoon of dip. Fold each circle in half and press down the edges to seal the dip inside the dough. Fold the left side and right side of each half circle towards each other like a fortune cookie.
  • Place the stuffed dough in an 11-inch (28 cm) nonstick or greased tart pan. Make an outer circle and work your way in, creating 4 circles total. Brush with egg wash.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h20m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boxes (9 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach

Tips:

  • For the best bread bowls, use a crusty bread that will hold up well when dipped in soup or sauce. French bread, sourdough, and Italian bread are all good choices.
  • To hollow out the bread bowls, use a sharp serrated knife to cut a circle around the top of the bread, about 1 inch from the edge. Then, use your fingers to scoop out the bread from the center, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell.
  • When making the spinach dip, be sure to use fresh spinach. Frozen spinach can be used, but it will not be as flavorful. Also, be sure to drain the spinach thoroughly before adding it to the dip.
  • To make the dip ahead of time, simply prepare it according to the recipe instructions and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the dip in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Serve the bread bowls with a variety of dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Chicken spinach dip bread bowls are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken and spinach. With a few simple ingredients, you can make this tasty dish that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
