Ingredients

Scale

  • For the Garlic Bread:*
  • 4 slices of thick-cut bread (French or sourdough)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Chicken Filling:*
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional Add-Ins:*
  • Sliced jalapeños for heat
  • Crispy bacon bits
  • Sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-combined.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place 2 bread slices, buttered side down, on a cutting board. Spread an even layer of the chicken mixture on the unbuttered side of the bread. Add optional toppings like jalapeños, bacon, or mushrooms, if desired. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
  4. Cook the Sandwiches: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, pairing with marinara sauce or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
