Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 4 pieces garlic bread
Cheesy Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Finishing Touches
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Butter Bread: Evenly spread softened butter on one side of each garlic bread piece, which will help the bread crisp up and add extra flavor.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place the garlic bread buttered side down on the prepared baking sheet. Generously spoon the cheesy chicken filling onto each slice, spreading it evenly.
- Add Extra Cheese: Sprinkle any remaining shredded cheese over the top of each sandwich to ensure maximum cheesiness.
- Bake: Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts into a bubbly delight.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool briefly. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Slice and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For an easier option, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
- You can substitute mozzarella and cheddar with any cheese types you prefer.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to your taste preference.
- Keep an eye while baking to avoid over-browning the bread.
- To keep sandwiches warm before serving, cover lightly with foil.
