Description

This Cheesy Chicken Garlic Bread Sandwich is a flavor-packed twist on a classic. Toasty garlic bread is stuffed with tender chicken, gooey melted cheese, and buttery herbs. It’s crispy on the outside, melty in the middle, and completely satisfying. Serve it with a side salad or fries and you’re set.

2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
Make the garlic butter: In a bowl, mix softened butter, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt until well combined.
Prepare the bread: Spread garlic butter generously over the cut sides of the bread. Place on the baking sheet, cut side up.
Layer the filling: Spread shredded chicken evenly over the bottom half of the bread. Sprinkle with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
Top and bake: Place the top half of the bread on top (or leave open-faced if you prefer) and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy and golden.
Optional broil: For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely!

Slice and serve: Let it cool slightly, then slice into sandwiches and serve warm.

Notes

Add sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and texture.
Make it spicy with sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Want a saucier version? Spread a little marinara, buffalo sauce, or ranch inside before baking.
