It is perfect for a simple weeknight dinner, quick lunch, or an easy appetizer-style meal.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Texas toast
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1 cup spinach artichoke dip
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken
If using leftover or rotisserie chicken, shred or finely chop it into small pieces.
You can use freshly cooked chicken breast or any leftover cooked chicken you have on hand.
2. Prepare the topping
In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the spinach artichoke dip.
Mix until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture is creamy.
3. Assemble the Texas toast
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the Texas toast slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Divide the spinach artichoke chicken mixture evenly between the slices and spread it over the top.
Sprinkle each piece generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake
Bake for approximately 10–15 minutes, or until the bread is crisp around the edges and the cheese is melted and golden.
For an extra golden top, place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end. Watch closely so the bread does not burn.
5. Serve
Let the toast cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm.
The combination of crispy garlic Texas toast, creamy spinach artichoke filling, tender chicken, and melted cheese makes every bite rich and satisfying.
Tips
Use rotisserie chicken: It makes this recipe especially quick and convenient.
Don’t overload the toast: A generous but even layer helps the bread stay crisp underneath.
Use freshly shredded mozzarella: It melts beautifully and gives you that golden, cheesy topping.
For extra flavor: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes before baking.
