Instructions

1.	Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2.	Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour in 1 cup of Italian dressing. Seal bag and shake to coat chicken. Marinate for 15 minutes.
3.	Remove chicken from the bag, discarding marinade. Grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the grill and allow it to cool before chopping into small pieces.
4.	Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and ½ cup of Italian dressing. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
5.	Preheat the broiler. Brush olive oil onto each side of focaccia bread slices and place them onto a baking sheet. Broil the bread slices for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
6.	Top each bread slice with spinach mixture and some cooled chopped chicken. Serve and enjoy!
