CHICKEN SPINACH DIP BREAD BOWLS
My family loves artichoke spinach dip, so I thought I could turn this popular appetizer into a chicken entree. The sourdough bowl makes a fun presentation. I love that with this recipe I can make one for dinner and wrap one for the freezer! -Merry Graham, Newhall, California
