Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
½ cup unsalted butter
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 thick slices French or Italian bread
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, adding oil if desired. Sear chicken until golden brown on both sides (6-7 minutes per side), ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
In a bowl, melt butter and mix in minced garlic (and herbs if desired).
Spread garlic butter on each slice of bread. Layer cooked chicken pieces and top with mozzarella cheese before adding another slice of buttered bread.
Bake assembled sandwiches for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and bread is golden brown.
Serve warm, sliced in half if desired.
Notes
You can add herbs like oregano or basil to the garlic butter for added flavor.
If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
This sandwich pairs well with a fresh side salad or crispy fries for a complete meal.
