BAKED ARTICHOKE PASTRY
I realise this doesn’t contain chicken, but I think you might easily add chicken to the pastry. Give it a whirl!
1 can refrigerated biscuits
1 can artichoke hearts, drained & chopped
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded, (see note)
1 green onion, chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. oregano
Preheat oven as directed on biscuit tube. Combine all ingredients in bowl. Separate biscuits with fingers to make a pocket and stuff with mixture. Bake for 10 minutes and serve.
NOTE: - We combine half and half muenster and mozzarella cheese, grated, for this recipe. Additionally, instead of baking them flat on a cookie sheet, I stand them on edge in muffin pans so that they fan out a bit as they bake. They bound to be a huge hit.

Mushroom and Artichoke Bruschetta
Chicken can easily be incorporated into this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 loaf of good, hearty flatbread or a crusty loaf cut into 16 one-half inch thick slices
8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
8 oz shitake mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (no stems)
1/2 tsp Italian dried herbs
2 Tbl butter
1/3 cup olive oil (or more)
1 small jar artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed (about 3/4 cup)
8 slices baby Swiss cheese
My loaf of artisanal bread was 1 inch thick and then 6 inches wide and by 12 inches long. When I sliced it and turned the slices on their sides, I had sort of cigar shaped slices that looked a bit like biscotti. Long, narrow slices. You can use whatever kind of bread you like. I just wanted to tell you what I was working with so you could visualize the size of mine and keep that in mind for proportions.
Take a pastry brush and coat one side of your bread slices with olive oil. This is one time when you are not going to skimp. Olive oil has some good health qualities, so go for it. Brush on a good layer and prepare to broil that one side of the bread by placing the slices on a cookie sheet, oil side up. Broil them just until the edges are slightly browned. Set aside.
Heat the butter and a few more teaspoons of oil in a saute pan and put in your mushrooms and the Italian herbs. Saute the mushrooms on Medium heat until they are browned on the edges. They should have given off much of their liquid. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes. They will shrink down to about 3 cups.
After you have drained your artichokes, put them in a food processor and chop them finely. If you don’t have a processor, just put them on a cutting board and cut them up finely with a knife. You want to cut them finely so you don’t have chunks. Dice them.
This can all be done a few hours ahead if you keep all ingredients covered and then begin to assemble later.
Take your bread pieces and spread a thin layer of artichokes on them. This doesn’t take a lot. Artichokes go a long way in adding flavor. Then spread the mushrooms over the artichokes. They will also just cover the artichokes in a thin layer across the bread slices. If you are using a smaller round bread, you might end up with the bonus of mounded mushrooms on your bread slices. That’s fine.
Heat the bruschetta at this point at 350 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes to make sure they are nice and warm. Take your cheese slices and cut them in half. Put one-half slice on each piece of bruschetta. Put the bruschetta back in the oven for 5 minutes more to melt the cheese. Don’t broil them. Baby Swiss cheese is so delicate, the broiler will disintegrate the cheese instead of just melt it. This is a kinder, gentler way to just lightly melt the cheese.
Now serve right way while the Swiss cheese is still warm.
Enjoy!

Shrimp and Dill Sauce in Artichoke Cups
Try substituting “shrimp size” pieces of chicken, instead of shrimp…or do both!
Ingredients:
4 large heavy artichokes
lemon wedges
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces plain yogurt
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/8 teaspoon pepper
minced fresh dill (optional)
Preparation:
Wash artichokes. Cut off stem ends and trim about 1 inch from top of each artichoke and about a fourth of outer leaves. Rub top of artichoke and trimmed leaves with a lemon wedge. Wrap in wax paper and microwave until tender and an inner leaf releases when gently pulled upon (approximately 6 minutes rotating once during the process).
Place upside down on a rack to cool. Gently spread center leaves apart and remove the choke with a spoon and discard. Chill if desired.
Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Add shrimp. Reduce heat and cook 3 minutes, drain well and rinse with cold water. Chill and set aside.
Combine yogurt and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well. Spoon 1/4 cup yogurt mixture into the center of each artichoke. Arrange shrimp around upper edge of each artichoke, hanging over. Garnish with additional dill.

Hi Chiquita79 here are a couple of dips that might meet your criteria. BetK
Asiago Artichoke Dip
1-1/4 cups grated Asiago cheese
1-1/4 cups mayonnaise
1-1/4 (6.5 ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1-1/4 cloves garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS:
In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the Asiago cheese, mayonnaise, artichoke hears and garlic. Heat in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between heatings until cheese has melted and dip has a smooth consistency. Serve warm.

Artichoke Dip
This dip has a great flavor and is made lower in fat by using reduced calorie mayonnaise and Asiago cheese, which is lower in fat than the original recipe, which used Parmesan cheese. Jarred unmarinated artichoke hearts or even fresh artichoke hearts can be used instead of the frozen artichoke hearts if desired. You can also add 1 box frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry for a marvelous spinach-artichoke dip.
2 boxes frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted and drained
2 cups mayonnaise
1 bunch thinly sliced scallions
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
2 cups grated Asiago cheese
Coarsley chop the artichoke hearts and place in a medium ovenproof serving dish. Add the mayonnaise, scallions, grated cheese, and spices. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and serve with sturdy crackers or bread rounds. Tortilla chips also go well with this dish.
Makes 6 servings.

Hi chiquita79…
Sorry for the delay. I actually didn’t see your question till this a.m. Hope these help.
Rock Bottom Brewery Asiago Cheese Dip
You’ll need to modify, by incorporating artichokes into the ingredient list.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, reconstituted in hot water
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese, plus shredded Asiago cheese for garnish
1/4 cup green onions (cleaned, rinsed and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces)
1/4 cup mushrooms (rinsed and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces)
Squeeze all water out of tomatoes, then julienne cut into fine strips. It is important that all water be removed from tomatoes, and they must be added last, or dip will discolor.
Combine remaining ingredients, except tomatoes and cheese for garnish, in food processor. Blend well at low speed. Add tomatoes and slowly mix by hand for about 1 minute. When ready to serve, heat through in microwave oven. Remove from microwave and sprinkle with Asiago cheese. Put in broiler and heat until cheese browns.
Makes 3 cups.
I realise this isn’t Rock Bottom’s clone, but thought I’d include it. You can modify to incorporate artichoke into the recipe.
Asiago Cheese Dip
Ingredients:
1 cup chicken broth or water
4 ounces dried tomatoes (not oil packed)
4 (8-ounces) cartons dairy sour cream
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
1/2 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese, cup up
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
6 ounces shredded Asiago cheese (1 1/2 cups)
thinly sliced green onions
toasted baguette slices
In a medium saucepan bring the chicken broth or water to boiling. Remove from heat and add the dried tomatoes. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain, discard the liquid, and chop the tomatoes (about 1 1/4 cups).
Meanwhile, in a 3 1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, mushrooms, 1 cup green onions, and Asiago cheese. Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours or on high-heat setting for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir before serving and sprinkle with additional green onions. Keep warm on low-heat setting for 1 to 2 hours. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.
Again, this doesn’t meet the request for Rock Bottom’s, but you can easily modify.
