I love using store-bought French bread and filling it with ingredients and baking the bread. It’s like hearty homemade pizza but so easy to make since you skip baking the dough.
This recipe is for those that love spinach artichoke dip. We take the dip to a whole new level by adding chicken to the mixture and topping it over the bread loading the bread with cheese. Once baked, the flavors are amazing.

Thanks for the great recipe!!! You didn’t write what is the good oven temperature for it to bake.
Thanks so much for catching that, Dana. It’s fixed! 🙂 I hope you try these and love them as much as we did. So good!! <3 Thanks for visiting our online home.
This recipe is to die for! It tastes like a stuffed pizza! It was gobbled up before anything else at our New Years table! Such a great recipe!!
Cheeks turning many shades of pink from such a sweet comment?.. So glad you all enjoyed it. I just love how easy it is to throw together. One of my go-to recipes for when I really am too busy for a time consuming meal but we still need to eat. ☺
Oh nice, im gonna have to start writing it down. Get a nice notebook and get organized with the recipes, while kids are at school. I have 1st grader and 2nd grader, and 3 younger kids at home with me 🙂 but it seems like the house is quiet when older ones are in school.
Forgot, if you’re into computers, Pinterest is a superb way to organize recipes. You can even have “secret” boards.. (You know, for those recipes that were a fail.. hehe..)
Oh WOW mamma. You have got your hands full! May God give you lots and lots of patience and wisdom. I always tell myself this so will remind you as well. It’s so easy to get so caught up with “all my time/energy is for the kids” and forget about you. Pamper yourself, rest, read a book. Something always needs done and it’ll never end but your health is so important. ? I know I need to make myself just stop so, just in case you needed to hear that, you’re beautiful, special and need a break..?
I just made this and it was soooo yummy! My husband and kids loved it, thank you so much for all your great recipes! This will be my keeper recipe for parties and quick get together sandwiches. Love your website. One question how do you keep all your recipes? I get lost sometimes and not sure if I should be printing them out or just remember in my head, lol but it gets so hard, like so many websites to remember but then printing all the recipes the book gets to fat lol.
Aww. Thank you Natashenka.. So glad this recipe is a keeper.. ??
Ha.. I know what you mean about recipes. Best advice, or what I do, is I just have a little book with names of different dishes I love and blog it’s from. So Appetizers, Breakfast, Lunch, Salad, Dinner, etc. Then say this recipe I just have under “Appetizers” Valentina’s Corner Chicken Artichoke Boats.. If I ever need that recipe I just Google it or go onto that blog and in search area write the name. Then, as I cook, I just have my laptop open. My kids cook from my blog all the time.. I never use a cookbook for my recipes, lol.. You’ll love this method. ☺☺??
Oh my, its my kinda food! He he…?
Looks really good Valechka! I wish you posted your goodies more often!??? just a small wish of mine!
Quick question, what brand artichoke do you use?
Olyachka,
You’re the sweetest. Thank you for the lovely comment, it’s appreciated. Honestly, I usually just purchase whatever is at a good price or on sale. ;)..
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do… <3. Thank you for visiting our blog..
Yumm! You made me so hungry !!
😉 will definitely make this for lunch 🙂
Hi Ninka… Hhhmmm, I’m guessing that’s a good thing if I’m making you hungry?.. Lunch sounds like a great idea! Super easy, super good.. (This is also great to use half a loaf at one, refrigerate the rest and use the following day?.. I love to leave some and toast it for my hubby in the morning, zero effort, great results.?)
