A delicious and comforting Cheesy Chicken Garlic Bread Sandwich featuring tender seared chicken breasts, rich garlic butter, and melted mozzarella cheese layered between thick slices of rustic bread, baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil as needed for searing

Garlic Butter

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • ½ cup unsalted butter

Bread and Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 thick slices French or Italian bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Season and Sear Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and optionally add a little oil. Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the minced garlic until well combined, allowing the garlic flavor to infuse the butter.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the garlic butter generously on one side of each bread slice. Place cooked chicken pieces on two of the bread slices and top each with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover with the remaining slices, garlic butter side down to make the sandwich.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled sandwiches into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally slice each sandwich in half for easier eating and better presentation.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like parsley or oregano to the garlic butter.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other melty cheeses such as provolone or cheddar.
  • If preferred, grill the chicken instead of searing to add a smoky flavor.
  • Serve with a side salad or soup to make it a complete meal.
