Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked grilled chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 4 slices thick bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or artisan white)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese or 2 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tbsp butter or mayonnaise (for spreading)
- Optional: garlic powder, fresh herbs, sautéed onions, or baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side, layer cream cheese, grilled chicken, cheddar, and mozzarella.
- Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out, and press gently.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted. Press lightly with a spatula for even browning.
- Remove from skillet, rest for 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Add spinach, caramelized onions, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
- Use different cheeses like gouda or pepper jack for variety.
