  • 4 slices garlic bread Homemade or store-bought.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Try cheddar for a sharper flavor.

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Optional for spice.

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until everything is well combined.
  2. Spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture on two slices of garlic bread. Place the other two slices on top to create a sandwich.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or olive oil to the pan. Once hot, add the assembled sandwiches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the garlic bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  2. Once toasted to golden perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Cut them diagonally and serve warm.

Notes

Don't rush the skillet; aim for golden, not charred. Press gently with a spatula for better melt.
