Ingredients
-
2 frozen breaded chicken patties (such as Tyson®)
-
2 tablespoons garlic butter (or to taste)
-
4 slices Italian bread
-
1 cup marinara sauce
-
½ teaspoon dried basil (or to taste)
-
1 pinch garlic salt (or to taste)
-
6 thin slices provolone cheese
-
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken Patties: Cook the frozen breaded chicken patties according to the package instructions (typically in the oven or air fryer).
-
Prepare the Bread: While the chicken cooks, spread garlic butter on one side of each slice of Italian bread.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Once the chicken patties are cooked, layer one patty on two slices of bread. Top with marinara sauce, dried basil, and a pinch of garlic salt. Add 3 slices of provolone cheese and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
-
Grill the Sandwiches: Place the sandwich halves (buttered side down) on a hot skillet or griddle. Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and slice in half. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
-
For a more intense garlic flavor, increase the garlic butter to taste or add extra garlic salt.
-
If desired, serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
- You can also use other cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar depending on your preference.
