Chicken Grilled Cheese
Chicken Grilled Cheese: Grilled cheese sandwiches are a classic, but adding chicken takes it to a whole new level!
Servings: 4 sandwiches
Calories: 498kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 4 slices white bread rustic-style, cut in half
- 1 cup chicken cooked and shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese sliced
- 2 teaspoons parsley fresh, diced
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet on stove top over medium heat.
- Spread butter on one side of each of the slices of bread you have cut in half, then place them butter-side down and spread cream cheese on the other side of each slice of bread.
- Top 4 slices of the cream cheese covered bread with ¼ cup shredded chicken.
- Top the chicken with parsley and slices of mozzarella cheese in a single layer.
- Top the mozzarella cheese with a single layer of sliced Monterey Jack cheese.
- Top that slice of cheese with the remaining bread slices (cream cheese side in, butter side out).
- Place the sandwiches, one at a time, into the heated pan.
- Cook sandwiches for about 4 minutes on each side or until the outside of the bread is golden brown. During the last 60 seconds, cover the pan to help the cheese melt.
- Transfer sandwich to a plate with your choice of side (potato chips or steak fries would be delicious) and enjoy!
Notes
STORAGE: Grilled cheese sandwiches don't typically keep well (they have a tendency to get soggy). Your best bet is to enjoy these sandwiches right after you've made them, but if you have leftovers try wrapping them in a paper towel and then in tin foil and storing them in the fridge. When you're ready to eat them, heat them up in a skillet over medium heat again until they are toasty and melty.
