Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:
  • 3-4 chicken tenders 300g, or use chicken breast
  • ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper for seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika for a bit of smoky heat
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or use a mixture of oregano and parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for grilling
For the Spinach Alfredo Sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter for richness
  • ¼ medium onion finely chopped
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic for depth of flavor
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper for seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes for a bit of heat
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning for extra flavor
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for thickening
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk for the sauce base
  • ½ cup heavy cream for richness
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated for best results
  • 1 cup chopped spinach for color and freshness
For Assembly:
  • 2 packs King's Hawaiian original sweet rolls 24 rolls; or other bread of choice
  • 3-4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese for meltiness
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced for garnish

Method
 

  1. Coat chicken tenders with seasoning and olive oil. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly seared. Rest for 5 minutes, then chop into cubes and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, chili flakes, and spices, then cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk and cream, stirring until thickened. Stir in spinach and Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide each sheet of rolls into 2 halves to create 4 flatbread sheets. Toast the bread for about 8 minutes, until golden.
  5. Spread spinach Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella, then add half of the grilled chicken. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and red onion slices.
  6. Set oven to broil at 500°F (260°C). Broil the flatbreads for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. Slice and serve.
