Ingredients
Main Components:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp olive oil
4 slices garlic bread (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp garlic butter
2 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
Optional Add-ins:
Red pesto or sriracha for depth/spice
Jalapeños for heat
Tomato slices or spinach for freshness
Instructions
Prep Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice or chop.
Toast Garlic Bread: While the chicken cooks, toast garlic bread slices until crisp. Spread garlic butter on each slice.
Assemble Sandwiches: On one slice of garlic bread, layer sliced chicken, mozzarella, and cheddar. Sprinkle with fresh herbs. Top with a second bread slice.
Melt & Serve: Place sandwiches in a skillet or oven until the cheese is melted and gooey. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time.
Toasting the bread prevents sogginess.
Reheat leftovers in the oven at 375°F for 5 minutes to regain crispiness.
Add pesto, jalapeños, or even spinach for extra flavor and texture.
