With the start of the New Year, I am always looking for healthier food to eat, more greens, and some good protein. Not to mention I love all of these main ingredients in this Panini: Spinach, Artichoke, and Chicken! This sandwich is so good! This Spinach, Artichoke, & Chicken Panini great side would be a bowl of fruit and a side salad! It is very filling and I can’t wait to see you all make this recipe at home!

Spinach, Artichoke, & Chicken Panini Recipe
Total: 1 Hour
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 Organic Chicken Breasts
- 2 Artichoke Hearts
- 1 Cup Spinach
- 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
- 4 Fresh Garlic Cloves
- 4 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
- 4 Slices French Bread
Instructions
- Boil 2 inches water in large pan. Add 2 large organic chicken breasts. Cook on high until water is halfway evaporated. Turn heat on medium to low. Brown and remove. Let cool. (Please note: poaching 2 large breasts of chicken will take approximately 20 minutes.) Set aside.
- If using fresh whole artichokes, cut tips from artichoke petals using shears. Steam whole artichokes for approximately 20-30 minutes in stovetop pan; water covering at least half of the artichokes and rotating periodically.
- Remove artichokes from water. Let cool for approximately 5 minutes. Remove petals and choke. Chop hearts into small pieces. Set aside.
Clean that hairy like stuff off….that is my artichoke cooking newbies suggestion.
- Chop fresh garlic into tiny pieces.
- Sauté spinach & garlic in butter for approximately 8 minutes.
- Slice chicken diagonally and place onto one side of each Panini. On the other side, add a spread of butter, cheese & artichoke mixture, and top it off with shredded Mozzarella cheese.
- Close Paninis and place onto stovetop pan. Heat at medium, alternating sides every 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
