# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Sandwich Components
01 -
4 slices sourdough bread or preferred bread type
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 -
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
→ Filling
04 -
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced
05 -
4 slices mozzarella cheese or 1 cup shredded mozzarella
06 -
1/4 cup marinara sauce
07 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Evenly sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the buttered sides and press gently to adhere.
02 -
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even toasting.
03 -
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese, a portion of shredded chicken, a spoonful of marinara sauce, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and another slice of mozzarella.
04 -
Position the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up. Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3–4 minutes. Lower heat if bread browns too quickly.
05 -
Press the sandwich gently with a spatula to promote even melting. Remove from the skillet when the exterior is crisp and cheese is thoroughly melted. Let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For best results, use day-old bread to prevent excess moisture and ensure a crispy crust.
