  • - Mixing bowl
  • - Baking sheet
  • - Spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • #### For the Garlic Bread
  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • #### For the Filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup marinara or Alfredo sauce optional
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Garlic Bread:**
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  • **Toast the Bread:**
  • Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, garlic side up. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • **Prepare the Filling:**
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, marinara or Alfredo sauce (if using), 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well coated.
  • **Assemble the Sandwich:**
  • Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over one half of the toasted garlic bread. Place the other half of the garlic bread on top to form a sandwich.
  • **Heat the Sandwich:**
  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently, until the filling is hot and the bread is crisp.
  • **Serve:**
  • Slice the sandwich into portions and serve immediately.
