Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (leftover roast or rotisserie chicken works best)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Sandwich Assembly
- 2 slices garlic bread
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of cooked shredded chicken with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
- Spread the mixture on garlic bread: Generously spread the chicken mixture evenly over one slice of garlic bread, making sure to cover every corner for maximum flavor.
- Add the cheeses: Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken layer on the bread.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the second slice of garlic bread on top of the cheese, creating a sandwich ready to be grilled.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses have melted into a delightful gooey layer.
- Serve warm: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, cheesy, and savory flavors.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly toasted garlic bread for best texture and crunch.
- Leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken makes preparation quick and flavorful.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Adding herbs such as chopped parsley or oregano can enhance the flavor.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle red pepper flakes inside before grilling.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
