Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for several minutes. Whisk in flour until it makes a paste. Cook over medium-low heat for a minute or two, then pour in milk. Stir and cook one minute. If paste gets too thick, splash in more milk.
Add cream cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan and pepper. Stir until cheeses are melted.
Stir in Greek yogurt, until smooth.
Chop artichokes and spinach and add to the sauce. Stir to combine. Dip will be thick, so use muscle and stir in those veggies.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Butter outsides of every bread slice, then spread from 1-3 tablespoons of the spinach and artichoke dip on the inside of each slice.
If using, top one slice with the sliced grilled chicken. Top off with another slice of bread, buttered-side up. Cook until each side is golden and crisp and cheese is melted, then gently flip and cook till done.
Slice and serve.
