Description
Indulge in this gourmet twist on a classic sandwich that combines juicy shredded chicken with melty cheese between two slices of aromatic garlic bread for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices garlic bread
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy mixture. This creates a moist and flavorful filling that will complement the garlic bread perfectly.
- Assemble Sandwich: Take one slice of garlic bread and place it on a clean surface, garlic side up. Spread the prepared chicken mixture evenly over the bread. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese, distributing both cheeses evenly for optimal melting.
- Grill Sandwich: Place the second slice of garlic bread on top, garlic side down. Heat a skillet over medium heat and carefully transfer the sandwich to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside melts completely.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for about a minute, then slice diagonally for a more appealing presentation. Serve immediately while still warm and the cheese is gooey.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the chicken mixture. If you don’t have pre-made garlic bread, you can make your own by mixing softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt, then spreading it on regular bread slices before grilling. For a healthier version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
