Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • If using plain grilled chicken, slice it thinly.
    • For extra flavor, you can lightly pan-fry the chicken with a bit of oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Spread marinara sauce on one side of each bread slice.
    • Layer mozzarella, chicken slices, more marinara, Parmesan, and then more mozzarella on top.
    • Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
  3. Butter the Bread:
    • Mix butter with Italian seasoning (and garlic powder if using).
    • Spread it on the outside of both slices of bread.
  4. Cook the Sandwich:
    • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
    • Place the sandwich in the pan and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
    • Press down slightly with a spatula to help the sandwich crisp evenly.
  5. Serve:
    • Cut the sandwich in half, garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and enjoy while hot.

If you want, I can also give you a crispy breaded chicken version for a more classic Chicken Parmesan taste. Would you like me to add that?
