Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional for richness)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 4 slices thick bread (Texas toast or Italian loaf)
For garlic butter:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the garlic butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the chicken filling
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayo (or sour cream), cream cheese (if using), garlic powder, mozzarella, and cheddar. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the sandwich
Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice. On the non-buttered side of two slices, spoon a generous amount of the cheesy chicken mixture. Top with the other slices, buttered side out, forming sandwiches.
Step 4: Cook to golden perfection
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melty. You can cover the pan for a minute to help the cheese melt.
Step 5: Serve hot
Slice in half, sprinkle with more parsley or Parmesan if desired, and serve with soup, fries, or a simple salad. Prepare for cheesy, garlicky bliss.
