  • 1 cup Marinara sauce homemade or store bought
  • 8 pieces Chicken Strips
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Butter one side of each bread slice, set aside. 
  • Place one piece of bread, butter side down, on a grilling pan or a panini press. 
  • Spread marinara sauce on the bread. 
  • Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Place 2-3  Chicken strips on mozzarella cheese. 
  • Top with parmesan and mozzarella cheese. 
  • Spread some more marinara sauce. 
  • Place another buttered slice of bread on the sauce, butter side up. 
  • Turn the heat one, once one side is golden brown, flip and cook the other side until the cheese is melted. 
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients. 
  • Serve warm. 

Notes

  • You can use homemade or store bought marinara sauce, or any tomato based sauce of your choice. My recommendation is homemade marinara.
  • Choose the bread based on your family's preference. I normally use French bread or whole grain.
  • To make this recipe even easier, make the sandwich in a panini press or a waffle maker.
  • You can use either sliced or shredded mozzarella.
  • Fresh Parmesan cheese would make a huge difference.
