Description
A delicious and hearty sandwich that combines the classic flavors of chicken Parmesan with the gooey goodness of a grilled cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (sourdough recommended)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Ensure the chicken breast is cooked and shredded or sliced. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one side of each bread slice. On one slice, arrange the chicken over the sauce, then top with both cheeses. If desired, add dried basil and garlic powder for enhanced flavor. Complete the sandwich with the second slice of bread, placing the sauced side facing the filling.
- Cook the Sandwich: Warm a skillet on medium heat and introduce a tablespoon of olive oil or butter for frying. Fry the sandwich, pressing lightly with a spatula, until each side turns golden brown and the cheeses melt, typically taking 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Let the sandwich rest for a minute off the heat before cutting. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken beforehand.
- Experiment with different types of bread for variety.
