Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients (for 2 sandwiches):
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled or breaded)
- 4 slices of hearty bread (sourdough or Italian bread works best)
- 4 tablespoons marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- If using plain grilled chicken, slice it thinly.
- For extra flavor, you can lightly pan-fry the chicken with a bit of oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread marinara sauce on one side of each bread slice.
- Layer mozzarella, chicken slices, more marinara, Parmesan, and then more mozzarella on top.
- Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
- Butter the Bread:
- Mix butter with Italian seasoning (and garlic powder if using).
- Spread it on the outside of both slices of bread.
- Cook the Sandwich:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the pan and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Press down slightly with a spatula to help the sandwich crisp evenly.
- Serve:
- Cut the sandwich in half, garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and enjoy while hot.
