Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough or preferred type)
- 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or sliced)
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure the cooked chicken is ready.
- Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On a clean surface, place two slices of bread butter-side down. Layer with half the mozzarella, followed by cooked chicken, marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and remaining mozzarella. Top with the other two slices of bread butter-side up.
