Ingredients
Scale
For the Base
- 2 slices garlic bread
For the Filling
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors and form a creamy filling.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Lay one slice of garlic bread flat and spread the prepared chicken mixture evenly over it. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Grill the Sandwich: Place the second slice of garlic bread on top to form the sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheeses inside have melted completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich from the skillet once perfect golden crust and melted cheese are achieved. Let it rest for a minute, then slice if desired and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use freshly baked garlic bread for optimal crispness and flavor.
- Finely shred the chicken so the flavors combine smoothly throughout.
- Substitute or add cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for extra flavor variations.
- Maintain medium heat while grilling to melt the cheese evenly without burning the bread.
- Allow the sandwich to rest briefly after grilling to let the filling set before cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes for best texture.
