Description

A delightful fusion of chicken parmesan and grilled cheese, this sandwich is quick, satisfying, and perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough or your preferred type)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or sliced)
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your cooked chicken is ready—either shredded or sliced. If you are using shredded mozzarella, prepare that too.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of bread. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on one slice. Then, add half of the cooked chicken over the sauce. Place two slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning for extra flavor. Top with another slice of bread. Repeat this process for the second sandwich.
  3. Cook the Sandwiches: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Spread softened butter on the exterior of both slices of bread in each sandwich. Once the pan is hot, place one sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip it over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. You want the cheese to melt and the bread to be crispy. Repeat with the other sandwich.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the pan. Let them cool slightly, then slice them in half. Serve warm and enjoy each gooey, cheesy, delicious bite!

Notes

For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes. Ensure to use quality cheese for the best melt.
