Today we are making one of my favorite quick service meals on Disney World property: The grilled chicken sandwich from Riviera Resort. Fresh, fluffy focaccia bread with smoky grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese, spinach and artichoke spread, roasted tomatoes, and arugula. Whether you’re a Disney fan or not, this sandwich is a MUST TRY!

For the Sandwich

Instructions
Grilled Chicken
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients together. Place the chicken in a ziptop bag or large bowl, and pour the marinade over the top.
- Refrigerate for a few hours, overnight is even better!
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill the chicken breasts about 3-4 minutes per side, until they reach 160 degrees F.
Roasted Tomatoes
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
To Assemble the Sandwich
- Cut the focaccia bread into 4 rectangular pieces. Cut each in half to make 4 sandwiches.
- Melt the mozzarella cheese on the grilled chicken.
- Spread the spinach and artichoke dip on each piece of bread. Top with chicken, tomatoes, and arugula.
- Enjoy!
