Spread marinara sauce on one or both slices of bread.
Layer chicken, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add basil if using.
Top with the second slice of bread.
Grill the sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Spread butter on the outside of both slices of bread.
Place sandwich in skillet, pressing gently. Cook 3–4 minutes per side, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve
Slice in half and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
🌟 Tips
Extra crispy: Toast in a cast-iron skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese evenly.
Cheese mix: Combine mozzarella with provolone or fontina for a richer flavor.
Make it spicy: Add red pepper flakes to the marinara or sprinkle on top before grilling.
Ashley, I can also give you a “deep-fried” version of Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese for an ultra-indulgent, restaurant-style treat. Do you want me to share that?
