Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or white)
- 4 slices Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
Assemble each sandwich by layering 1 slice of cheese, a cooked chicken breast (sliced if preferred), and another cheese slice between two slices of bread, with the mayonnaise side facing out.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding the remaining butter as needed.
Remove sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve.
