Melts: Chicken Parmrsan Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

CHICKEN PREP:
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.

ASSEMBLE:
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.

COOK:
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.

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