- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one side of each slice of bread.
- On one slice of bread, layer:
- A few slices of cooked chicken breast
- A handful of mozzarella cheese
- A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese
- A little extra marinara sauce (optional, for more flavor)
- Fresh basil (optional, for a burst of flavor)
- Top with the second slice of bread.
Step 3: Grill the Sandwich
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Tip: Press down on the sandwich with a spatula to ensure even grilling and melting.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
- Serve with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Optional Variations:
- Add some heat: Try adding red pepper flakes or some sliced jalapeños to the sandwich for a spicy kick.
- Double the cheese: Add a layer of provolone or cheddar for an even cheesier experience.
- Crispy breadcrumbs: For an extra crunch, sprinkle a bit of Italian-style breadcrumbs inside the sandwich before grilling.
