Chicken Parmesan grilled cheese sandwich recipe idea

 


Chicken Parmesan grilled cheese sandwich 


2 slices of bread (your choice, but a sturdy bread like sourdough works well)

 • 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:

 1. Prepare the Chicken:

 • If you haven’t already, cook and shred or slice the chicken breast. You can use leftovers or cook it fresh. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 2. Assemble the Sandwich:

 • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one side of each bread slice.

 • Layer the shredded chicken over the sauce on one slice of bread.

 • Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese over the chicken.

 • Optionally, sprinkle dried basil and garlic powder over the cheese for extra flavor.

 • Top with the other slice of bread, sauce side down.

 3. Cook the Sandwich:

 • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter. You can use more if needed for a crispier crust.

 • Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

 4. Serve:

 • Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Serve hot.
