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!

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh spinach. If you only have frozen spinach on hand, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all of the excess moisture before using.
- If you don't have a bread bowl, you can use a regular bowl and serve the dip with bread or crackers on the side.
- The chicken spinach dip can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
- If you want a thicker dip, you can add more cream cheese or sour cream. You can also add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to the mixture before cooking to help thicken it up.
- For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, before serving.
Conclusion:
Chicken spinach dip bread bowls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken and spinach. So next time you're looking for a tasty and crowd-pleasing snack, give this recipe a try.
