Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese (Print Version)
Toasty bread, gooey cheese, and flavorful chicken combine for a melty, satisfying sandwich in just minutes.
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 slices bread (sourdough or preferred type)
02 -
1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or sliced)
03 -
4 slices mozzarella cheese (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella)
04 -
1/4 cup marinara sauce
05 -
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
06 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
07 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
# Steps:
01 -
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the buttered side and press gently so it adheres. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
02 -
Place one slice of bread (buttered side down) in the skillet. Add a slice of mozzarella cheese, a layer of shredded chicken, a spoonful of marinara sauce, and another slice of mozzarella cheese. Place a second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
03 -
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich and toast the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat if the bread browns too quickly. Press gently with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts evenly and binds the sandwich.

Remove from the skillet and let the sandwich cool slightly. Slice in half and serve warm.
