SPONSORED POST: Be inspired to make a delicious and easy weeknight dinner that even your pickiest eaters will adore with artisanal cheeses from Goat Cheeses of France.
This grilled Bûcherondin French goat cheese sandwich can be a quick and easy dinner ready in minutes, plus it’s loaded with protein and veggies thanks to the chicken and spinach.
Looking for quick & easy dinner ideas? I know that with all the things happening with back to school and activities and sports & so many demands on the schedule it can be hard to get dinner on the table. I know that after a long day in the office the last thing I feel like doing is making a huge elaborate dinner that makes a ton of dishes. Which is why I love creating quick dinners like this Chicken and Spinach Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwich that everyone loves.
Just look at all those flavors in there. I mean, spinach, chicken, goat cheese on deliciously grilled sourdough. It’s absolutely amazing. The kids just love it. I often pair this with a bowl of soup, which makes for a hearty meal for my super hungry teens. To make it super easy I grab a rotisserie chicken or use leftovers to add to the sandwiches. I also like to use my indoor grill/ panini maker so I don’t have to flip these. Plus it gives great grill marks on there too. 
I love using goat cheese like this Bucheron because of its mild flavor and how well it pairs with the chicken and spinach. Did you know that Bucheron was one of the first French goat cheeses exported to the U.S? That’s pretty interesting!
France is the number one producer of goat’s milk cheese in Europe and even the world. I was shocked to find out that France produced about 265 million pounds of goat cheese in 2016 (120,000 tons). They have 6,000 producers of goat’s milk including 3,000 who produce their own goat cheese and 3,000 who sell their milk to one of the 60 dairy companies that produce goat cheese. That is impressive! I love the variety & the quality that you can truly taste in every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Bûcherondin?
Yes, you can substitute Bûcherondin with another mild goat cheese, but the flavor profile may change slightly. Consider using a similar creamy goat cheese for the best results.
Is it necessary to use rotisserie chicken for the sandwich?
While rotisserie chicken is convenient, you can also use leftover grilled or baked chicken from a previous meal. Just ensure it’s cooked and shredded for easy layering.
What type of bread works best for this sandwich?
Sourdough bread is recommended for its texture and flavor, but you can also use any hearty bread that can hold up to grilling, such as ciabatta or whole grain.
I cannot TELL you how hungry these photos made me! Goats’ cheese makes the best grilled sandwiches. Mayo is a great idea too, a nice change from butter :)
