Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side). Optionally, use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep. Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
Prepare the Garlic Bread: If making garlic bread from scratch, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and salt. Spread the mixture on bread slices and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, until golden.
Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan on one slice of garlic bread. Add any optional toppings like mayonnaise and mustard. Top with the other slice of garlic bread.
Grill the Sandwich: Grill in a pan or bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

Notes

Swap the chicken for grilled vegetables or a plant-based protein for a vegetarian version.

For an extra kick, add jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce on the sandwich.

Customize the cheese by mixing mozzarella with gouda, provolone, or cheddar for different flavors.
